CPE Hour Requirement
40 hours every year
- 2 ethics hours, within that same total.
Alabama CPAs must complete 40 hours of CPE every fiscal year (October 1 to September 30) rather than a multi-year cycle. At least 8 of the 40 hours must be in accounting and auditing, at least 2 hours must be a qualifying ethics course, and no more than 12 hours can come from personal-development topics.
