Included in the CPE hours for this 2010-12 CPE reporting period is an Ethics requirement. In the effort to make the Ethics requirement more applicable to the licensed CPAs’ line of work, the State Board of Accountancy will allow CPAs to choose from an assortment of various preapproved programs pertinent to industry, tax practices, general ethics principles, and ethical issues dealing with non attest services. The State Board has approved the following 4 hour live programs:
- Cases in Corporate Ethics for Louisiana CPAs: Discussion of Real Life Conflicts • Executive Education, Inc.
- Louisiana Professional Ethics for CPAs in Business and Industry • AICPA (Also Available in Self Study and In-House Formats)
- Louisiana Ethics for Tax Professionals: Circular 230 and SSTSs • AIPCA (Also Available in Self Study and In-House Formats)
- Louisiana Ethics: Non-Attest Services, Integrity, and Objectivity • AICPA (Also Available in Self Study and In-House Formats)
- Personal and Professional Ethics for Louisiana CPAs • Dr. Raymond Clay
All licensed and newly licensed CPAs must take one of the approved four hour courses in order to satisfy their 2010-12 professional ethics requirements. Reinstatements must take two of the approved programs within the 2010-12 cycle.
