Georgia Accounting (CPA) CE audits & penalties
What happens if a certified public accountant misses CE requirements in Georgia, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
Reinstatement of an expired permit requires a $300 fee plus CPE: 40 credits per year since the last renewal (max 160), at least 50% in technical fields of study, and at least 80 credits completed in the 2-year period before the application. The board may investigate whether the applicant practiced during the lapse and may deny reinstatement.Verify with board
