The Paychex Accountant Knowledge Center (AKC) offers NASBA-approved, online, self-study CPE Ethics Courses in a select number of states through our partners at CCH. We currently have 8 state-specific CPE courses available:

In addition, 2 general Ethics CPE courses are also offered, and can apply for CPE credit in other states:

Accountants and CPAs will need to register for AKC (if not already done) - and then separately request access to the online CPE library. Then they’ll be able to take up to 5 CPE courses per year at no cost. (Yes – we said FREE!)

Every state has different CPE requirements and deadlines. Many are December 31, making year-end a busy CPE catch-up time, prior to tax season. So here is an early Holiday gift from Paychex !
