I just received my CPA license in September. When do I have to begin taking Continuing Professional Education (CPE) classes?
A licensee is exempt from the requirements of CPE for the triennial period during which they are certified. Unfortunately this is the end of the triennial year, so you will have to begin taking CPE courses in January 2009. Each applicant for a triennial license renewal is required to complete 120 hours of continuing professional education.
