A West Virginia (WV) CPA can complete 100% of the total required CPE credit hours via self-study courses. i.e., an West Virginia (WA) CPA can complete all 120 hours via self-study courses from NASBA-approved CPE sponsors as myCPE is approved by NASBA (Sponsor id 143597) our CPE Packages for West Virginia CPAs are 100% compliant with that requirement.

No, West Virginia State Board does not allow courses completed via nano learning courses to count towards WV CPE requirements.

No, West Virginia (WV) CPAs cannot carry over excess credit earned in a particular renewal cycle.

• CPE is measured by the calendar year and must be reported annually by January 31 of the following year.  
• Requests for an extension of time to complete the previous year's CPE Requirement must be submitted by January 31 of the current calendar year.  Unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances, no Extension Requests will be granted past June 15 -- allowing sufficient time for the licensee to renew the license to practice before the June 30 renewal deadline.  The Extension Request fee is $75.00.
• Extension Requests submitted after the January 31 filing date must be accompanied by the $150 late filing fee. (Totaling $225.00)

If the individual's initial license to practice was issued during the current calendar year, the WV CPA is exempt from securing CPE hours. However, the CPA must complete and return the CPE reporting form before the January 31 deadline indicating the exempt status.
