Alaska CPA CPE Requirements and Courses

To maintain an active CPA license in Alaska, certified public accountants have to fulfill a CPE requirement on a biennial basis.

Here is a summary for your reference:

Alaska CPA CPE Requirements

CPE credits must be accumulated by December 31st, and the counting is done every 2 years on odd-numbered years.

Please note that a renewal form will be mailed to your address at least 30 days before the expiration. You’ve got to remember the renewal because there is no grace period to practice on an expired license.

Within these 2 years, CPAs registered in Alaska should fulfill at least 80 hours of accounting continuing education.

Specific Requirements

• At least 20 hours need to be fulfilled every year
• At least 80 hours during the reporting  period, including 4 CPE hours in ethics
