Regulations on Continuing Professional Education
13:29-6.1 Scope
All licensees subject to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 45.2B-42 et seq.
shall comply with the provisions of this subchapter relating to continuing
professional education (CPE). These rules apply to all licensees registered
by the Board of Accountancy in order to enhance the professional competence
of such licensees.
13:29-6.2
Credit-hour requirements
- Each
applicant for a triennial license renewal is required to complete, during
the preceding triennial period, 120 hours of continuing professional
education. The types of continuing professional education programs and
other sources of continuing professional education for which credit
hours may be obtained are set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:29-6.5. The 120 hours
of continuing professional education shall include at least 24 credit
hours in the areas of auditing, review and compilation for persons who
are engaged in the practice of public accounting or are involved with
the attest function in issuing audit, review or compilation reports.
All applicants shall complete at least 72 credit hours of the required
120 credit hours in the technical subjects set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:29-6.3.
The remaining 48 credit hours of the required 120 credit hours may include
subjects specified in N.J.A.C. 13:29-6.4. No licensee shall receive
credit for any course offered by a Board approved continuing professional
education sponsor in subjects other than those enumerated in N.J.A.C.
13:29-6.3 or 13.29-6.4.
- Persons
failing to meet the continuing professional education requirements for
a triennial renewal period shall not be issued a current license until
such continuing professional education requirements have been satisfied.
The Board may modify this policy on an individual basis under circumstances
specified under N.J.S.A. 45:2B-68. Failure to meet triennial continuing
professional education requirements may subject a licensee to disciplinary
action by the Board.
- The
Board may, in its discretion, waive requirements for continuing professional
education on an individual basis for reasons of hardship such as health,
military service, or other due cause. A waiver of continuing professional
education requirements granted pursuant to this subsection shall only
be effective for the triennial period in which such waiver is granted.
If the condition(s) which necessitated the waiver persists into the
next triennial period, a licensee shall apply to the Board for the renewal
of such waiver for the new triennial period. Inactive accountants shall
be exempt from continuing professional education requirements. Inactive
licensees are those who do not practice accounting (public or private)
or hold themselves out to the public as practicing accountants in any
professional capacity. Any licensee who returns to the practice of accounting
shall notify the Board prior to reinstatement and shall meet the continuing
professional education requirements by completing 120 credit hours of
continuing professional education requirements prescribed by this subchapter
within the three year period prior to reinstatement. Licensees inactive
for more than one year, but not exceeding two years, shall satisfy at
least 80 credit hours of continuing professional education within the
two year period prior to reinstatement. Licensees inactive for one year
or less will satisfy the requirements by completing at least 40 credit
hours of continuing professional education in the year prior to reinstatement.
13:29-6.3
