[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Nebraska CPE Credits

The Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy (NBPA) requires active, licensed CPAs practicing in the state of Nebraska to earn a minimum of 80 hours of CPE credits every two years in order to maintain their CPA permit to practice. Of those 80 credit hours, 4 must be earned in ethics education. It is important to note that the 80 hours must be completed by 31 December of the second year of the permit renewal period, and must be reported a month later, by 31 January of the following year.

As a courtesy, the NBPA notifies active CPA permit holders on December 1 in the second year of their renewal period that their “Report of Continuing Education Attendance” is due to the Board by the reporting deadline of January 31 of the subsequent year. CPA permit holders may report their CPE hours to the Board online at www.nbpa.ne.gov.

With regard to programs that qualify for CPE credits, the NBPA currently accepts formal CPE courses approved by the National Association of State Boards of Accounting (NASBA) and the Quality Assurance Standards (QAS). To view the registry of approved CPE Sponsors go to www.nasba.org. All 80 credit hours of the Nebraska CPE requirement may be earned through these pre-approved formal programs.

Other ways to earn CPE credits are through self-study programs (not to exceed 50% of CPE requirements), university and college courses (not to exceed 50% of CPE requirements), service on technical committees of professional organizations (not to exceed 16 credit hours of CPE requirements), instruction or presentation of programs (not to exceed 50% of CPE requirements), published articles/books (not to exceed 16 hours of CPE requirements), and quality enhancement programs and peer review programs (not to exceed 50% of CPE requirements).  For all non-formal programs of study, the NBPA encourages (but does not require) CPAs to apply for pre-approval prior to taking these courses, to ensure that full credit will be received.   A program qualification form can be found at www.nbpa.ne.gov/prog_qual/prog_qual.php.
