That's okay!

The KSCPA has partnered with a host of vendors to provide you with options. Interactive CPE is becoming an increasingly popular alternative format for meeting CPE requirements. Below is a list of companies partnered with the KSCPA to assist you in meeting your on-site, self study, and online needs.

AICPA Self-Study - Kansas Ethics: Non-Attest Services, Integrity, and Objectivity

AICPA LogoActive Kansas licensees must take two hours of ethics education during each reporting period. The Kansas Society of CPAs has partnered with the AICPA to identify the ethics topics that will be of most value to Kansas CPAs. This course contains a review of the principles of integrity and objectivity. A working knowledge of these fundamental ethics principles will guide your decision making whether you work in industry or public practice. One of the hottest ethics topics this year is nonattest services, independence rule 101-3, and its new interpretations. You need to know which services CPAs can provide their individual and business clients – tax, consulting, and bookkeeping, etc; what and how to document elements of the engagement; client responsibilities and more. An interactive case study gives you a chance to make decisions and test your knowledge as you apply theory to real life dilemmas.

Price: $59 plus $8 shipping and handling; Kansas residents add state and local sales tax.

Order: Simply complete and submit the following order form.
