DO PES COURSES QUALIFY FOR CPE IN THE STATE OF NEVADA? YES

Nevada has no formal sponsor registration requirements. They will accept courses from NASBA and NASBA-QAS sponsors. They expect all CPE to meet the statement of standards issued by NASBA and the AICPA. PES is a registered sponsor with NASBA and NASBA-QAS and have issued credits in the state of Nevada without any problems.

LICENSE RENEWAL INFORMATION:

• 80 hours of CPE every 2 years
• Minimum of 20 hours per year
• 4 hours of ethics must be reported every 2 years. PES offers the following courses to fill part or all of this specific requirement: #4305: Ethics and Professional Conduct for Nevada CPAs, #4200, #4205, and #4325.
• NOTE: The 2 year period is not a 2 year block of time starting fresh with another 2 year block of time. It is a rolling 2 years with hours for each year added to hours of the previous year for the 80 hour total. For example, if a licensee earned 30 hours in 2006, they would need 50 in 2007. Consequently, 50 in 2007 would mean they needed 30 hours in 2008.

LICENSE EXPIRATION INFORMATION:

• Registrant must register annually by 12/31.

CPE COMPLETION DUE BY:

• CPE must be completed by 12/31 of expiration date and reported by 1/31.
