Utah CPA CPE Requirements: How Many Hours, By When
How much continuing professional education a Utah CPA actually needs — sourced the same way every fact on this site is: a board page, plus the codified rule itself where we could confirm it against primary law, clearly labelled where we could only confirm it against the board's own page, never a guess.

CPE Hour Requirement
80 hours every 2 years
- 3 ethics hours, within that same total.
Utah CPAs must complete 80 CPE hours every two-year cycle (ending Dec 31 of even-numbered years), with no hours due at a licensee's first renewal after initial licensure. Within that 80, the rule sets two separate requirements: 3 hours of ethics education plus a separate 1 hour covering Utah CPA law and rules -- these are two distinct categories, not one combined 4-hour ethics figure.
