About ACPEN Webcasts
As the largest CPE network in the United States, ACPEN is proudly sponsored by numerous state CPA societies. Since our founding in 1997 by four state societies, we have grown into a consortium of over 40 state societies. Our mission is to provide highly relevant, NASBA-accredited, world-class CPE courses for CPAs and financial professionals, ensuring that every CPA can access continuing education in the most convenient and economical way possible.
Our History and Management
Since 1998, ACPEN has been owned and managed by Business Professionals’ Network (BPN). BPN is responsible for developing online CPE content, managing the network, and maintaining cutting-edge internet and live video streaming technology for the benefit of state societies and their members.
Our Offerings
ACPEN programs cover all essential accounting subjects, from online tax courses to ethics CPE. Thousands of CPAs across the country join us for one of the most engaging and convenient ways to meet their continuing professional education requirements. In addition to the high-quality CPE online courses and content developed by BPN, state societies are increasingly adding their own content and speakers to ACPEN offerings through webcast technology.
All ACPEN courses include downloadable written materials for use during and after the course, and live credit is awarded for all Live Webcasts and Live Webcast Replays. In addition, questions may be submitted to the presenters at any time during the course, and technical support is available during all courses, to ensure you have a great experience.
