How much can I save?
When SCACPA moved to All-Inclusive Membership for the 2018-19 year, we were excited to introduce the 40-Hour CPE Bank. From the beginning, the 40-Hour CPE Bank was designed for the typical member to break even on annual CPE costs if they took 15 hours of SCACPA CPE.
All told, SCACPA projects that we have saved our members over $382,616 in CPE costs.
That breaks down to an average of $342 CPE cost savings per member.

Grassroots Advocacy
SCACPA is the only organization looking out for the CPA profession in South Carolina. Who better than your association to protect and promote the CPA Profession? This year we’ve expanded our advocacy efforts.
Along with federal tax conformity, we are actively monitoring state tax reform, sales tax on tax preparation services, occupational licensing reform, two separate audit rotation bills, and new financial literacy programs.
With the help of our Chapters we’ve created more personal interaction with legislators via legislative social events, and we’ve also enhanced our relationship tracking with updated software.
When hot button issues arise, or you need information quickly, you can be assured that SCACPA has you covered. At the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, SCACPA lobbied to have CPAs declared as essential businesses so members could continue to work and serve clients all over South Carolina. Our crisis communications plan was tested with Hurricane Florence and proved to be a true member benefit.
In 2019, SCACPA started the #WhyCPA campaign to promote the value of CPAs to local business owners and individuals. So far, the campaign received more than 20,000 impressions, and the campaign will continue to thrive.

Re-invented CPE
The Association has assembled a Committee of 16 whose mission is to carefully craft a CPE schedule that delivers maximum value at minimum cost.
The committee employs an “80/20” strategy for building the CPE calendar – that is, 80 percent of the three-year plan will be set in place, with 20 percent of the calendar in reserve to develop new rapid-response classes to the ever-evolving accounting environment. You will get more control over the professional education that is vital to your ongoing success.
We are the only organization that crafts localized, state-specific education products, and our mission is to advocate for what is right. We offer options that fit your schedule and resources in our live classes and online offerings. Association members will have access to 40 hours of local CPE. The future of CPE means flexible learning options and formats.
It’s your benefit. Your education. Your choice.
In-person CPE is ideal for the traditionalist or the new kid on the block looking to grow their network. As opposed to online versions of learning, in-person CPE with SCACPA is all about the experience we’ve cultivated. With expert speakers, state of the art facilities, dedicated staff, and delicious meals, there’s something to be said about a good old fashioned day of learning.
Livestream CPE is all about ease, convenience, and accessibility – a new way of learning that puts you in control of your education. With an easy to use Classroom, you can learn about QBID, Ethics, and everything in between however you like. No desktop? No problem. You can watch our Livestreams from your smartphone or tablet. Livestreams occur simultaneously with its in-person counterpart, so it is not self study. If Livestreaming is your go-to learning method, you can take all 40 hours of your CPE online with us.
Self-Study On-Demand CPE is ideal for those niche topics that you just can’t seem to find anywhere else. Perfect for those in Business and Industry, Self-Study On-Demand puts you in complete control of your education – everything from the course topics to the length of time it takes to complete the course. Learning at your own pace allows you to delve deep into complex material. South Carolina CPAs are allowed to report up to 20 hours of self study CPE every year.
