How much continuing professional education a Florida CPA actually needs — sourced the same way every fact on this site is: a board page plus the codified rule itself, never a guess.
80 hours per 2-year re-establishment period, no explicit annual minimum in the codified rule itself. Within the 80: at least 8 hours accounting/auditing, at least 4 hours Board-approved ethics (a review of Chapters 455 and 473, Florida Statutes, and related rules), and no more than 20 hours in behavioral subjects. Reporting deadline is July 31 prior to the biennial renewal.
