CONTINUING EDUCATION INFORMATION

AAA-CPA continuing education programs are designed to meet the needs of Attorneys and CPAs and to qualify for credit both as CPE and CLE. Of course, the decisions of various state authorities determine the actual credit granted. There are no prerequisites or advance preparation requirements for this course.

Accounting CPE/Legal CLE/MCLE

The American Association of Attorney-CPAs is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. Complaints regarding registered sponsors may be submitted to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors through its website www.learningmarket.org. These programs meet the NASBA standards of 1 (50 minute) hour of instruction.

*CLE varies by state. Though we are accredited for CLE in both TX and PA they will not accept Study Groups for credit. We are currently working on arranging for provider status for these programs through those states. If you require CLE in a specific state, please send a request to studygroups@attorney-cpa.com and we will do our best to arrange for CLE credit. Please note that most state bars will accept our Certificates of Attendance sent in by the attorney and NOT charge a fee.
