The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) have released for public comment an exposure draft of proposed changes to the Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs.
The proposed revisions are aimed at addressing emerging learning methods, clarifying credit-awarding mechanisms and ensuring continuing professional education remains responsive to evolving professional practice needs. Comments will be accepted through Dec. 16, 2025.
“These proposed revisions reflect the hard work and collaboration of the CPE Standards Working Group, NASBA’s CPE Committee and the Joint AICPA/NASBA CPE Standards Committee, as well as input from stakeholders across the profession,” said Erin Scruggs, associate director of NASBA’s National Registry.
“By engaging in ongoing education, CPAs are empowered to adapt to change, uphold the highest standards of service and foster lasting trust with those they advise,” added Barbara Andrews, senior director of learning, conferences, online events and technical publications at the AICPA.
The exposure draft and explanatory memorandum are available at nasbaregistry.org.
