In May 2022, the CPE Standards Working Group began its review and evaluation of The Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs (Standards).

In addition to reviewing the Standards in their entirety, the Working Group is considering innovations, trends and techniques in CPE, as well as ideas and suggestions related to clarifications and modifications of the 2019 Standards.

Once the Working Group has finalized its recommendation, it will be submitted to NASBA’s CPE Committee. If NASBA’s CPE Committee approves the recommendation without additional revision, the recommendation will be considered by the Joint AICPA/NASBA CPE Standards Committee. The Joint AICPA/NASBA CPE Standards Committee will then make its recommendation to the respective AICPA and NASBA Boards of Directors.

The National Registry team will continue to keep Sponsors informed as each step in the process is reached and completed.
