Does everyone have to take the ethics exam? I think some of the bigger states (CA and NY?) have their own but what about everyone else… do we have to take it too?

I googled and found the AICPA's course on Professional Ethics but it showed 3 options as CPE credits and I'm just not sure what to do or where to go. I looked on my state board's website and didn't find anything. Thanks in advance!n

IUMike- Just rec'd my paper score today but there was nothing special in it. Just same as always. I'm assuming there will be a congratulations paper coming soon. It was nice to see that I have credits for all 4 parts!n

IUMike and others: I rec'd my congratulatory letterfrom my state today! Basically it said you passed all portions and if you think you meet the work experience requirements then you can fill out an application for your license and then they will confirm with your employer. Then I'll be licensed! No mention of an ethics exam so I don't think it's required in Indiana. Never got an email back from the IN board of accountancy.n

I'm in CA and we have our own and it's mandatory, I'm not sure about all the other states. I'm actually going to buy it online tonight so I can get started on it. My state board has a CPA handbook, and that's how I found out where I am supposed to buy the ethics book/exam.

I also suspect that they'll send me something in the mail when my credit for the final test gets registered with the Board. Maybe that's how they do it for you guys? You'll get a packet in the mail with the rest of the licensing information?

In SC, we have to complete the AICPA ethics course, it does qualify for CE too. Maybe that's added incentive?

I concur, jencpa. I'm in GA & I have no idea if I'm supposed to take this ethics exam. I'm also transferring my scores to VA & they require an ethics exam. I wonder if I can transfer my ethics exam from VA to GA…

Thanks for the responses! I hoped that I'd recieve some info with my congratulatory letter but since that could take weeks; I thouht I could get that out of the way. I'll email a friend who passed a few years ago and see if she remembers. Glad I'm not the only one in the dark about this!

Does anybody know if ethic exam required in NY. Thank you

[Anonymous]

Antia, sorry I'm not sure about NY.

I did e-mail a former co-worker who was licensed a few years ago and she said in Indiana she did not take an ethics exam. So apparently it's not a uniform thing and varies by state. So maybe if you can not find information about it on your state board of accountancy website or through searching the internet, then there is no exam required in your state?

Thank you, I appreciate your respond.
