What You Need to Know About Michigan CPA Licensure Requirements
 
  • A continuing education year is July 1 – June 30 every year, this is the period when you must earn your 40 hours.
  • You are required to earn 40 hours of CPE every continuing education year, at least 8 hours of Accounting & Auditing, and a minimum of 2 hours of Ethics and 30 hours of Other (of the 40 hours needed). Every two years, one of your 4 total ethics hours needs to be in Michigan Specific Ethics.
  • 50% of the total CPE that you earn in one continuing education year can be in self-study.
  • You can carry over 40 hours of CPE each continuing educationyear with a maximum of 2 hours in Ethics and 8 hours in Accounting & Auditing. You can only carry hours forward to a future continuing education year, not back to a previous year.
  • A licensee who does not earn sufficient qualifying hours during the continuing education period may be allowed to renew a license upon reporting 80 qualifying hours and an additional 4 hours of continuing education credit for each month of time needed to remove the deficiency. The additional 4 hours of continuing education credit for each month of time needed to remove the deficiency shall not apply toward the qualifying hours of continuing education credit required in a continuing education period for the renewal of a license.
