CPE that meets GAO Yellow Book requirements

Audits and Attestations

The GAO has stated that CPE requirements may be met by courses that
enhance professional proficiency to perform audits or attestation engagements.

Par. 3.45 of the 2003 revision of Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), states that auditors planning, directing, performing field work, or reporting on an audit or attestation engagement under GAGAS, need to maintain their professional competence through continuing professional education (CPE). As further discussed in Par. 3.45, each auditor performing work under GAGAS should complete, every 2 years, at least 80 hours of CPE that directly enhance the auditor’s professional proficiency to perform audits and/or attestation engagements. [Emphasis added.]
