CPE Requirements for IIA

Most accounting professionals in the United States require CPE credits to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

Simplifying Regulations for 2026

Both practicing and nonpracticing certified individuals are required to obtain and attest to the completion of the required CPE credit hours annually. CIA (practicing individual) is required to obtain 40 CPE credit hours annually. CCSA, CGAP, CFSA, CRMA, QIAL (practising individuals) are required to obtain 20 CPE credit hours annually. Certified individuals are required to complete two CPE hours focused on the subject of ethics. Ethics training hours may be applied toward the individual’s total annual CPE requirement. The IIA does not prescribe where an individual must obtain this training. However, the training must occur annually, within the reporting period.
