I’m in Ohio and part of the 30 semester hours required to sit for the CPA exam is an ethics course. Is this a fairly new requirement? I’m having a terrible time finding any online programs such as LSU or any local community colleges that offer an ethics course from the accounting department. Can anyone offer any insight?

I took Ethical obligations and decision making for accounting from Keller graduate school online.

I'm from Ohio and I was worrying about the ethics requirement when I applied to sit for the exam. I think my 3 credit hours of business law courses ended up fulfilling the requirement.

The course evaluation worksheet they provided says that the ethics portion must be from an accounting department. I have business law. I might look at keller online.

I also am in Ohio. My business law class counted as my ethics course. I am done with all portions of the exam and waiting on my license.

I just spoke with someone at the accountancy board of Ohio and they told me that my audit course covered professional ethics. There is even a tiny little blurb about that on their website in the FAQs.
