How Courses are Approved for CPE Credit
The Nevada State Board of Accountancy
rules stipulate that a course must increase the professional
competency in order for a CPA to receive credit. The CPA must
make this determination. The NSCPA is not the regulatory body
that sets the rules. The Nevada State Board of Accountancy does
not pre-approve any providers or courses for continuing
professional education. The responsibility for determining if
the course meets the requirements of Continuing Professional
Education (Requirements, Programs which qualify, Controls and
Reporting and Calculation of Hours of Credit) rests solely upon
the provider and the licensee. Board Rules are available at
http://www.nvaccountancy.com/education.fx

Complaint Resolution
Attendees who have a comment or complaint regarding any program
offered by NSCPA are directed to the CPE Manager, Russ Gardner,
rgardner@nevadacpa.org
or 775-826-6800. Refunds or transfer of registration into
another class are handled on a case by case basis.
