Ethics requirement
Four hours of Board-approved regulatory and professional ethics CPE are required every three years, and Wyoming requires a state-specific course on the Wyoming CPA Act and Rules/Regulations (new residents must complete it within six months of initial permit).
How to meet it
CPE is earned in 50-minute credit hours through qualifying programs — including live webinars, which most boards accept as group-internet-based learning. To stay compliant: track your hours by field of study, complete any required ethics course, and keep your certificates of completion in case of audit. Spreading hours across your reporting period (rather than cramming at the deadline) keeps renewal stress-free.
Always verify with your board
Requirements change and can include details not summarized here. Confirm the current rules with the Wyoming Board of Certified Public Accountants before relying on them. This page is general information, not legal or compliance advice.
