About This Course

This course is specifically designed to meet the California renewal requirement of four hours of ethics education. It covers ethics and the tax professional with a focus on IRS Circular 230 provisions, frivolous tax positions and their associated penalties, and California-specific information including the state’s Board of Accountancy rules and regulations governing CPA practice.

Please Note: This course was specifically designed to meet the California renewal requirement of four hours of ethics education every two years for CPAs. California has an additional requirement that CPAs complete a two-hour regulatory review course once every six years. If you are required to complete the two-hour regulatory review course, it is in addition to the four hours of ethics that this course offers.
