Virginia's Regulatory Landscape for CPAs Information
This training has been created to help you meet the Virginia Board of Accountancy's (VBOA) annual 2-hour (100-minute) CPE requirement for 2021. Section 18VAC5-22-90 of the Virginia Board of Accountancy's regulations requires that all Virginia CPAs subject to continuing professional education must take an annual 2-hour ethics course acceptable to the VBOA. Each year, the VBOA provides an outline of topics to be included.
This course helps CPAs navigate the many different rules, expectations and constraints any CPA should consider when making decisions on a daily basis. All CPAs are subject to Virginia CPE requirements. Visit the Virginia Board of Accountancy website for more information.
This program is being held in conjunction with the 1040 Tax In Depth. Separate registration required to attend either or both events.
