Utah Board of Accountancy (DOPL) · board website
Overtime Education courses are designed to the NASBA/AICPA Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs. An application to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors is pending. Courses are not offered for CPE credit until that application is approved.

| Self-study permitted for ethics | Yes |

| Notes | Rule incorporates the NASBA/AICPA Standards; no provider approval. The Utah law/rules hour is content-defined (CPE Audit Service asks whether the course includes at least 1 hour on the Act and Rule), so the Utah module must carry at least 1.0 credit on Title 58 ch. 26a and R156-26a. Utah reports CPE through NASBA CPE Audit Service. |
