MyCPE is an excellent platform for obtaining a variety of quality educational courses needed to maintain your CPA license. The flexibility of having webinar courses as well as on demand courses to meet your needs is a wonderful option given a CPA's busy schedule. The ethics course was well thought out and is a great refresher for what we should be considering when involved with every representation that we undertake. I would highly recommend anyone considering purchasing a continuing education program strongly consider MyCPE as a top choice.

Information was really good, even though it was a long read. It was interesting that the Professor works right up the road from where I live and focused on some Texas cases on ethics. Very interesting.
