How much continuing professional education a Michigan CPA actually needs — sourced the same way every fact on this site is: a board page plus the codified rule itself, never a guess.
40 hours of CPE for each year of the license cycle, of which 8 must be in auditing/accounting and 2 in professional ethics (1 of those 2 ethics hours must specifically satisfy R 338.5215(1)(h), a Michigan-specific sub-requirement). No more than 50% of hours may come from self-study/instruction. Confirmed directly against the Michigan LARA/Bureau of Professional Licensing's own official licensing guide (MCL 339.729 and R 338.5215) -- the same document serves as both the plain-English source and the rule citation, an acceptable variant of the two-source standard since it is the state's own combined guide, not a third-party summary.
