On Friday, July 1, 2022, the South Carolina Board of Accountancy informed us via email (Alert: Ethics CPE requirement for 2022 calendar year) that "At its June meeting, the SC Board of Accountancy voted to no longer require the SC-specific ethics course". Therefore, the Clemson Tax School will no longer offer a SC-specific Ethics Course for CPAs in the state of South Carolina.
CPAs are still required to take two credit hours per calendar year of Ethics. We offer IRS-approved two credit hours of Federal Ethics in our Income Tax Course during November and December. We offer a total of six online and in-person events. Learn more about Clemson's SC Ethics for CPAs Course.
