I didn’t have another NTS to purchase this month, so I celebrated by spending $131 on “Professional Ethics: AICPA’s Comprehensive Course” to fulfill my state’s ethics requirement so that I can get my certificate and license.
As far as I know the only place to purchase the course is through CPA2biz.com – a site the AICPA owns.
I chose the CD-ROM version (Product# 738392HS) over the text (Product# 732311).

Haha, I still havent gotten my score for my last part (REG), but in the meantime, I also bought and passed the ethics exam. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, I guess my ethics were shoddy to begin with.
What are these things?
Sorry – it’s for the ethics requirement that many states have in order to get your certificate/license.
I bought mine through the Missouri Society for $115. It was not state related – just the AICPA version. Here is the website . . . https://www.mocpa.org/Content/22327.aspx
is this another course in addition to the one required to sit (in Texas) I may be wrong but it sounds like another course on ethics
one college class to sit and one 8 hr class after you pass
good grief why do we have to pay the price for the criminals who tainted accounting….
another 71 ways to suck a dollar out of a billion dollar industry huh ethics huh!
HOLY FREAKING CRAP! I'm doing this now, and I have to ask: How in the world does someone who passed REG on the first attempt fail this thing with an 83 followed by an 85?!
I've looked up the answer to each question one by one, and on the handful of questions for which I was between two answer choices, I changed my answers between the two submissions. This does not compute, and I'm sooo ready to pull my hair out. >_<
I hear you… I spent about 2 hours on the exam and got a 70%, 8 fun-filled hours later, I got a 90% and threw my ethics book out the window…
i bought the book through my state’s CPA society website. i’m sure you can do that for most states. just be carefull… some states don’t accept this AICPA ethics exam and have their own ethics requirement for being licensed.
Just in case you New Yorkers were wondering, we don’t need to take this exam. Maybe that’s why corruption is so rampant on Wall St. ? Just speculating…
According to Illinois Board of Examiners they HOPE to receive scores by Wednesday and they HOPE to release BEC scores this week. Yeah right.
95% of the BEC is already out as per ILBOA -
I just passed the exam. What do I do now? I know I have to take an ethics exam. Will they send me the information to do it?
Check your state BOA page…they should have it…if it’s the AICPA comprehensive course…order what I did…many states use it…your state may have its own.
Does anyone know if Georgia requires the ethics CPE to obtain a new license? I just passed my last part of the exam and would like to go ahead and complete the CPE if necessary. I’ve looked on their site; however, I do not see anything. Thanks for the help.
I just passed my last section and was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes Florida to send out the licensure package. I spoke with someone at the Dept. of Business & Prof. Regulation and they said it could be up to six weeks.
I just passed my last part of the exam, and I will have to 1-2 year work experience to get my certificate and license.
My questions are:
1. Should I take “Professional Ethics: AICPA’s Comprehensive Course” exam first?
2. My friend is a AICPA Member( $99.00). May he use his name buy this course for me?
Thanks for the help!!
You can purchase it through the state accounting society for less sometimes. It was a little cheaper through MO Society of CPA's & you could attend a session w/ others to look over the questions.
Dear Friends,
I have cleared the last paper of CPA and I stay in India. Can u please tell me is there any way where I can get the book in digitised form without getting the CD or book physically to India.
Thanks in advance

Sandip – congrats on passing! The only version that I’m aware of is the CD or book from the AICPA…no digitized version. You should call the AICPA through their cpa2biz.com website and find out for sure.
Hi,
I have cleared my CPA exam from Colorado state in Jan, 2009 and I am based in India. I wanted to confirm that in order to be a member of AICPA and to get CPA liscense and certificate do I need to clear Ethics exam. What are the contents of the exam and the next step after the ethics exam.
Thanks.

The 2010 CPA Exam is in full swing and candidates are neck-deep in their CPA Review courses trying to fit in another exam in a shortened testing month.
Dates and news that candidates should know:

The Wave 1 CPA Exam score release is always my favorite because I average 50% accuracy on naming the exact date NASBA will release CPA Exam scores.
On the other hand, I am terrible at Wave 2 CPA Exam score release predictions – mostly because the AICPA can be very unpredictable in Wave 2.
It’s early January, [...]
Ten random stupid things said to candidates while studying for the CPA Exam:

A coworker [...]

My interview with the AICPA titled “CPA Exam Myths Debunked” is featured in the September 2009 issue of “The Asset” magazine, which is published by the Missouri Society of CPAs.
The staff at The Asset did a great job incorporating the article into the publication.

Failing the CPA Exam is normal, but frustrating.
No curve. No re-score. No real-time scoring.
The security measures make the CIA blush.
Time to think up a new excuse for missing family reunions.
There were two people who asked about this in the REG discussion for this month, and I found it worthy of a post. Time management on the CPA Exam is critical for REG and FAR. AUD and BEC? – not as much.
REG is probably the worst exam in terms of time management. They only give [...]
I knew coming out of the exam that I had passed, but I didn’t expect this. I’m paranoid so I’m whiting out my info until I have my certificate in hand.
Thank you GOD.
Thank you Dr. Yaeger and everyone at Yaeger CPA Review!
Update: I got my paper confirmation on September 22 – a timely six days [...]
