In December 2022, NASBA and the AICPA issued proposed revisions to the Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs (Standards) as well as the NASBA Fields of Study document for public comment. The public comment period on the Exposure Draft closed on March 31, 2023.  

The CPE Standards Working Group will meet in May to review and consider the submitted comment letters.  

Once there is a final recommendation of proposed changes to the Standards and the Fields of Study document from the Working Group, the final recommendation will be reviewed and considered by NASBA’s CPE Committee and the Joint AICPA/NASBA CPE Standards Committee.  

The target timeline is to seek final approval from the NASBA Board of Directors at their meeting in late October and the AICPA Board of Directors at their meeting in November.
