West Virginia CPA CPE Requirements: How Many Hours, By When
How much continuing professional education a West Virginia 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
120 hours every 3 years
- 20-hour minimum in each 1-year period (you can't front-load the whole requirement into a single year).
- 4 ethics hours, within that same total.
120 hours within the 3 preceding calendar years, minimum 20 hours each calendar year, including a minimum of 4 hours of ethics within the 120. Board's own site states the ethics requirement in plain language but doesn't cite its own rule number -- cross-verified the exact rule text via the Cornell LII regulations mirror instead of relying on the board page alone.
