What are CPE credits?
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits are units of measurement used to track required, ongoing education for licensed professionals, most notably Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). One CPE credit typically equals 50 minutes of instruction. They are essential for maintaining professional certifications, staying updated on industry trends, and complying with regulatory standards.
