Q. What credit will I receive for attending this simulcast ?

Q. I'm a CPA. Can I get CPE credits?

A. It is our understanding that the Oklahoma Accountancy Board does not pre-approve CPE courses before they are officially reported to the Board. They do accept personal development courses as long as these courses help to maintain or improve a CPA's professional competence and as long as they meet the CPE standards in Chapter 15, Subchapter 32 of the Oklahoma Administrative Code and are documented in accordance with 10:15-32-6. The Code is available on the OAB website. A CPA would need to be able to justify how the course would enhance their ability to serve public accounting clients to count it as public accounting hours. Please check with the Oklahoma Accountancy Board directly... we're not CPAs.
