Q:	What types of continuing education credit can I obtain from attending a CBI conference?
A:	Two types of credit are offered for every event: IACET CEUs & NASBA CPEs. IACET CEU: Only organizations that meet IACET's internationally recognized continuing education and training standards are approved as Authorized Providers. IACET's standards enable continuing educators to deliver programs of the highest quality, and only Authorized Providers offer the IACET CEU. IACET CEUs reflect strong procedural standards and organizations only become IACET Authorized Providers after an application and approval process that thoroughly reviews their delivery of learning outcomes, in order to ensure a quality final product for the learner. NASBA CPE: Most states require continuing professional education (CPE) for CPAs to maintain active licenses. NASBA's Regulatory Compliance Services division offers several programs that assist state boards and their licensees by determining high quality CPE providers. The National Registry of CPE Sponsors (Registry) lists organizations that provide high quality CPE in accordance with nationally recognized standards.
