Authorities rules and regulations concerning CE
The Ohio Board of Accountancy accepts providers of continuing education courses if they are pre-approved or approved by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.

The information below is valid as of 2/28/03. For questions about specific continuing education rules, click the link below or contact the licensing authority.

Reporting Information:
The continuing education reporting dates for each of the three continuing education reporting groups are as follows:

(1) All Ohio permit holders who are in group one normally report continuing education in 1999, 2002, 2005, and every three years thereafter.

(2) All Ohio permit holders who are in group two normally report continuing education in 2000, 2003, 2006, and every three years thereafter.

(3) All Ohio permit holders who are in group three normally report continuing education in 2001, 2004, 2007, and every three years thereafter.

CPE Renewal Requirements:
The continuing education requirement is one hundred twenty hours for each triennial reporting period. Each triennial reporting period begins on November first and ends on October thirty-first three years later. Credit earned between October thirty-first and December thirty-first of the third reporting year may be reported, but such credit shall not count toward subsequent reporting periods. Credit earned after December thirty-first of the third reporting year may not be claimed toward fulfillment of the continuing education requirement

An Ohio permit holder who assumes responsibility for any financial reporting engagements or signs any financial reports shall complete at least twenty-four continuing education hours in the fields of accounting or auditing during the three-year reporting period.

An Ohio permit holder who assumes responsibility for any tax engagements or signs any tax returns as a certified public accountant or public accountant shall complete at least twenty-four continuing education hours in the field of taxation during the three-year reporting period.

An Ohio permit holder who performs any public accounting work other than that defined in above, or who holds out to the public as a certified public accountant or public accountant, shall complete at least seventy-five per cent of the continuing education requirement in subjects directly related to the principal professional work which the Ohio permit holder performs.

Self-Study Credits:
Formal correspondence or other individual study programs which require registration and provide evidence of satisfactory completion will qualify with the amount of credit to be determined by the accountancy board.

In accordance with the standards of the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, CPE credits for all courses have been granted based on a 50-minute hour.

Subjects Which Qualify: The overriding consideration in determining whether a specific program qualifies for continuing education credit is that it should be a formal program of learning which contributes directly to the professional competence of an Ohio permit holder.
