CPA — Certified Public Accountant

Yes — NASBA National Registry sponsor. All 50 state boards of accountancy recognize CPE from National Registry sponsors. Our programs are mapped to NASBA fields of study and your certificate shows sponsor ID 167619. State boards have final authority on individual courses.

EA — Enrolled Agent / AFSP tax preparer

Yes — IRS-approved CE provider (OWVJT). Qualifying federal tax programs carry IRS program numbers and are reported to the IRS against your PTIN. Non-tax topics (technology, management) don't count toward IRS CE but still come with a certificate.

CMA — Certified Management Accountant

Generally yes — IMA accepts NASBA-registered CPE. The IMA accepts continuing education in relevant subject areas from NASBA-registered sponsors. Keep your certificate; you self-report hours to the IMA.

CIA / internal audit certifications (IIA)

Usually — self-report qualifying CPE to the IIA. The IIA lets you self-report relevant CPE from professional education providers. Technology, audit, fraud, and accounting-systems topics typically qualify; keep your certificate and course description.

CFP® — Certified Financial Planner

Often — self-report to CFP Board for review. CFP Board accepts qualifying programs from providers outside its CE sponsor registry when you self-report them for review. Tax, estate, retirement, and technology programs are strong candidates. Your certificate shows hours, learning objectives, and instructor.

Varies by state bar — self-application. Many state bars accept cross-discipline professional education through individual (self-)application. Tax, estate & trust, and technology competence topics are the usual fits. We provide the certificate, agenda, and learning objectives you'd submit.

Insurance producer / adviser

Rarely for state insurance CE — attend for expertise. State insurance CE usually requires state-approved courses, which ours generally are not. Insurance professionals attend for planning, tax, and technology expertise — and dual credential holders (CPA, CFP®, EA) can still earn credit on that license.

No license — business professional

No license needed — certificate for your records. Every program is open enrollment. You'll receive the same instruction and a certificate of completion for performance reviews, HR training records, or your own development plan.

Accreditation & Credit Acceptance

Nationally registered, independently audited, and accepted where it matters — here's exactly who stands behind our programs and how the credit works for your license.

NASBA National Registry of CPE Sponsors

Sponsor ID 167619

CPE Today is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit.

Registry sponsorship means our program development, instructor qualifications, attendance monitoring, and record keeping follow the NASBA/AICPA Statement on Standards for CPE Programs — and that boards of accountancy in all 50 states recognize the registry. Complaints may also be registered with NASBA at nasbaregistry.org.

IRS Approved Continuing Education Provider

Provider ID OWVJT

CPE Today is an IRS-approved continuing education provider (Provider ID OWVJT). Qualifying federal tax programs carry an IRS program number and are reported to the IRS for Enrolled Agents and Annual Filing Season Program participants.

Completed qualifying tax programs are reported to the IRS against the PTIN on your account — Enrolled Agents and Annual Filing Season Program participants don't need to submit anything themselves.
