Minnesota Accounting (CPA) CE audits & penalties
What happens if a certified public accountant misses CE requirements in Minnesota, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
Failure to report CPE, failure to obtain required CPE, underreporting, or fraudulent reporting is a basis for disciplinary action under Minnesota Statutes 326A.08; certificates may not be renewed until CPE requirements are met (Minn. Rules 1105.3000(E)). CPE noncompliance draws a late processing fee of $50 for the first month (or partial month) and $25 per month thereafter until compliance is documented.Verify with board
