Florida Ethics – What You Need to Know
The Florida Institute of CPAs (FICPA) provides the highest-quality, Florida Board Approved 4-hour Ethics course in a variety of formats. We make it easier than ever for Florida CPAs to meet their biennial requirement.
CPAs must complete one four-hour Florida Board Approved Ethics course every two years. Please refer to the Board’s list of approved courses before completing a non-FICPA purchase.
Note: Not all courses with “Ethics” in the title meet the Board’s requirements.
