NASBA Registry Summit - Regulatory Changes in CPE and Compliance Considerations - Elizabeth Wolfe -
01-Oct-2022NASBA’s Senior Regulatory Counsel Elizabeth Wolfe, Esq., lead a discussion on recent trends in state legislation and regulatory rulemaking concerning CPE for CPAs. As covered in Wolfe’s presentation, states that incurred changes since the previous Summit included Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Texas. Next, she informed attendees about legislative updates since the previous Summit – there have been four.
To conclude, Wolfe discussed today’s accessibility considerations. She playfully said, “This is something I could spend a whole hour talking about how accessibility and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) comes into play in the digital world, however, I have about 10 minutes.” Wolfe provided attendees with links with additional information. The main update was that the Department of Justice (DOJ) cleared up a “gray area.” The DOJ has announced that the ADA absolutely applies to websites and have published guidance on accessibility and the ADA. Why is accessibility important to CPA CPE Sponsors? Inclusivity and compliance. NASBA is certainly fortunate to have Wolfe, and her knowledge of the legal system’s everchanging guidelines, on its team.
