Louisiana CPA CPE Requirements: How Many Hours, By When

How much continuing professional education a Louisiana CPA actually needs — sourced the same way every fact on this site is: a board page plus the codified rule itself, never a guess.

Louisiana CPAs must complete 80 hours of CPE within a rolling two-calendar-year period, with a minimum of 20 hours in each individual year. Certificate holders who work on attest engagements must also complete at least 8 of those hours in accounting and auditing subjects each year. The codified rule requires a board-approved ethics course but leaves the specific hour count to board practice rather than fixing a number in the rule text itself.
