CPA / Tax CPE

NASBA/AICPA — mapped mechanically, receipts included

Yardstick: Statement on Standards for CPE Programs (August 2026)

For NASBA-registered CPE sponsors. Send one course and ProveStead maps it against the published requirements — every finding keyed to the standard's own locator, every CPE credit recomputed from the materials, and an honest "not evaluable" where the materials can't prove it either way.

The credit math, recomputed

credit = [(words ÷ 180) + A/V minutes + (questions × 1.85)] ÷ 50
We applied the prescribed word-count formula to the required-reading words, audio/video minutes, and question count in the materials, then compared the result to the credit the course claims.

You may be over-awarding CPE credit — that's the headline check. If the numbers in your materials don't support the CPE credits you award, the report says so, with the arithmetic shown.

Honest scope

Our Class-B catalog for this standard carries 67 requirement records — locators, headings, and our own paraphrases (never the standard's text). Some requirements are assessable from course materials; the rest are provider-process requirements (your records, oversight, and procedures) which the report marks not_evaluable — never guessed, never faked.

  • Every finding carries the standard's locator and recomputable arithmetic.
  • Absent input is reported as absent — a missing fact is never scored against you.
  • The deliverable is an audit-ready evidence file you can hand to a reviewer.
No approval implied. It implies no NASBA or AICPA review, endorsement, or approval of this course or its sponsor, and it is not a registry determination: boards of accountancy and the applicable licensing bodies hold final authority over whether a program is accepted for credit.
