Certificate and license holders previously holding a permit to practice public accounting must report a minimum of forty (40) hours of CPE earned within the previous calendar year or within 365 days immediately preceding the date of the application and shall also provide evidence of the successful completion of the AICPA Ethics Examination or its equivalent as determined by the Board before a permit will be issued. If the ethics examination course is to be counted toward the CPE required for the permit, it must have been completed during the same period as the remaining CPE reported to obtain the permit. Any ethics course meeting the requirements for the renewal of a lapsed permit must have been passed with a score of 90% or above.
