About Us – CPE INC. – Providing You with the World’s Best CPE Training

Founded in 1984, The Center for Professional Education Incorporated (CPE INC.) is committed to delivering high quality continuing education programs to financial professionals. Every year, we conduct over 2,000 seminars, conferences, live webinars and self-study webinars on topics ranging from regulatory compliance to derivatives accounting to individual and corporate taxation.

CPE INC.'s programs are developed in accordance with continuing professional education requirements for certified public accountants and qualify for CPE credit in all US states. All programs are prepared to comply with the Joint AICPA/NASBA Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education Programs and to fulfill the continuing education requirements for CMAs.

CPE INC. is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors for Group-Live, Group Internet-Based and QAS Self-Study programs.

In the accounting world, CPE INC. is known for creating the most programs serving the complex needs of corporate financial executives and managers. Many of these specialized programs are not available from any other source, drawing attendees from all industry sectors and company sizes. A number of our seminars are also accredited for lawyers in the US.

Because we know that financial professionals actively seek knowledge they can use on the job, CPE INC. courses stress practical guidance over abstract theory. That emphasis extends to the instructors who teach our courses. Drawn from industry, government and the accounting profession, our instructors bring an abundance of real-world experience into the classroom. They focus on the practical steps that financial professionals need to take to put complex concepts into practice.

The CPE INC. in-house editorial department works closely with instructors to develop, produce and maintain comprehensive and up-to-date course materials that include case studies, checklists and reference papers. As with our instructors, our course materials put an emphasis on the practical. The manuals that financial professionals receive at our seminars and conferences make for excellent reference material.

In 2005, after over two decades of success conducting seminars and conferences in America, CPE INC. expanded into the international market for continuing professional education. Beginning with an SEC Conference on Sarbanes-Oxley 404 in London, we have gone on to host over a dozen conferences and seminars throughout Europe and Asia. Participants in these programs consistently give high marks for the relevance and timeliness of the information delivered and for the high-caliber of the presenters.

For over 30 years, CPE INC. has continued to grow, offering more programs in more locations across the globe than ever before. It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to providing financial professionals with the best in continuing professional education.
