How to Meet Georgia CPA CPE Requirements Before License Renewal

Georgia CPA CPE requirements call for 80 credits every two years, including at least 20 annually and 40 in technical subjects. Georgia CPA license renewal falls on December 31 of odd-numbered years. Four ethics credits are required, including one covering the Georgia Board’s laws, rules, and policies. 


That Georgia CPA ethics course must be Board-approved; unlike the state-specific ethics component, other CPE courses are not individually preapproved. Review course classifications before enrolling, retain completion certificates for five years, and attest to meeting CPE obligations during renewal. You generally provide supporting completion certificates only if selected for an official Board audit.
