Alabama Ethics Exam Requirements
In Alabama, CPA candidates are not required to pass a separate ethics exam, such as the AICPA Professional Ethics Exam, to obtain licensure. The Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy has integrated ethics content directly into the Uniform CPA Examination, eliminating the need for an additional ethics examination.
However, licensed CPAs in Alabama must complete 2 hours of ethics-related Continuing Professional Education (CPE) each year as part of their annual CPE requirements. These ethics courses are specifically designed to cover current ethical standards and professional responsibilities applicable to the accounting profession.
This approach underscores Alabama’s focus on continuous ethical education, ensuring CPAs consistently remain informed about evolving ethical standards and regulatory requirements throughout their careers.
