Ethics CPE

[austin3515]

Anyone know of a cheap way to get some ethics CPE? I am aware of ASPPA's webinars but I am thinking there must be someone else out there? I am looking for something for the QPA/QKA ethics CPE requirements.

Some of the free IRS webinars cover ethics credits 1 hour at a time. It varies when they are offered. The last example I see on a quick check of my CE files was 1/29/14 called - IRS EP Phome Forum - Ethical Standards of Employee Benefits Practice - What to Ask and Say to Clients and What to Tell the IRS.

My other Ethics credits have been through paid ASPPA webinars.

Good call on the IRS, but nothing is upcoming on their phone forum website... Here is the site for anyone curious to know where it is:

I guess I'll take any suggestions.

I'm taking advantage of the Western Pension & Benefits upcoming webcast. you can find it on www.westernpension.org/event-2074118. That's about the least expensive I've seen.

Does ASPPA do those take home Ethics exams (more like quizzes) any more? You read a 5-page essay and answer some questions? I think they were, like, 50 bucks.

I didn't even know about those quizzes, but they do apparently still have them! However, I can't quite figure out how they work or how to nail down which ones provide credits specifically for ethics.

fwiw - the info on the ASPPA website for the quizzes will tell if/when a quiz qualifies for ethics credits.

the exams are $50 now but you normally get 3 CE credits.

however if I recall, the ethics exam I took was specifically only 2 credits but was still $50 & 10 questions

There is an Ethics webcast by the Conference of Consulting Actuaries, Wednesday December 2.

I've lost track. Does the ASPPA reporting cycle end this year or next?
