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
