In New York State, CPAs are licensed for life but must register only if they perform statutory CPA services, or work in firms that provide such services (audits, reviews, compilations, and attestations of prospective financial information). Only New York State-licensed CPAs that are registered and in public practice are subject to the regulations for CPE. CPAs working in public practice are required to take CPE as a condition for re-registration. Here is a link to a page containing plenty of other links regarding CPE requirements: http://www.nysscpa.org/faeorg/cpereqs1.htm.
