ACTIVE LICENSEES
CPE Requirements for active licensees:
- Active
licensees must submit at least 80 hours of CPE (unless prorated),
including 4 hours of Oregon-specific ethics taken from a sponsor
approved by the Board.
- No more than 16 hours of non-technical
CPE may be reported. If non-technical hours are reported in excess of
the allowed total, the additional hours will be deleted and may result
in a CPE penalty if the deletion causes a shortage in total hours or a
shortage in the 24 hour annual requirement.
- The maximum
carryforward is 20 hours. Carryfoward hours may be applied to the
total number of CPE hours due, but may not be used toward the 24 hour
annual requirement. Carryforward hours are not designated as technical
or non-technical; the hours simply reduce the hours required to be
reported. All other limitations for reporting apply each renewal
period.
- Self-study courses must be taken from a sponsor on
the NASBA National Registry and the registry number must be included on
the CPE report. CLICK HERE for a list of NASBA approved sponsors.
- No more than 50% of the required hours may be from the category of instructor/author/discussion leader combined.
- Nano-learning credits may not exceed 10% of the total CPE requirement.
- CPE
earned in the 2 years immediately preceding the date of expiration
(June 30) will be accepted, except for hours used for reinstatement.

must submit at least 32 hours of CPE (unless prorated), including 4

more than 8 hours of non-technical CPE may be reported. If
non-technical hours are reported in excess of the allowed total, the
additional hours will be deleted and may result in a CPE penalty if the
deletion causes a shortage in total hours.

- The
maximum carryforward is 8 hours. Carryfoward hours may be applied to
the total number of CPE hours due.

MUNICIPAL AUDITOR
Licensees
admitted to the municipal roster are required to complete 24 hours of
CPE in subjects directly related to the governmental environment and
governmental auditing during each renewal period. A minimum of 16 hours
are required in the following subjects:
- Audits of state and local governmental units;
- Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards and updates;
- Generally Accepted Governmental Auditing Standards and updates;
- Single Audit Act and related Office of Management and Budget circulars and supplements;
- Oregon Local Budget Law; or
- Minimum standards of audits and reviews of Oregon municipal corporations.
No
more than 8 of the 24 required hours may be in courses relating to
generally accepted auditing standards and procedures. Courses that make
up the 8 hours described may include such topics as current developments
in audit methodology, assessment of internal controls and statistical
sampling. The 24 hours of CPE required under this rule may be included
in the 80 hours of CPE required for renewal of the CPA/PA permit.
