West Virginia CPA CPE Requirements for Annual Reporting

West Virginia CPA CPE is tracked by calendar year, though licenses renew annually by June 30. Active CPAs generally need 120 hours across three rolling years, including at least 20 each year and four hours of ethics. Finish coursework by December 31 and file the Board’s CPE report by January 31; renewing your license does not replace this filing. 


When choosing courses, prioritize programs that develop professional competence: basic accounting courses and informal journal reading do not qualify. Keep completion certificates, because the Board may audit courses reported during the most recent three-year period. Check new-licensee exceptions before planning hours.
