Course details
Program information
- Delivery method
- QAS Self-Study
- Program level
- Intermediate — Intermediate overall: lessons 3–8 apply ASC 958 recognition, measurement, and disclosure rules — conditional-contribution timing, net-asset classification, endowment spending under UPMIFA, ASU 2020-07 gifts-in-kind disclosures, and the liquidity disclosure — to judgmental fact patterns that require applying the standards, not recalling them. Lessons 1–2 are overview-level framework and vocabulary on which the later intermediate lessons build.

- None
- Final exam

- Refund policy
- Draft — pending attorney and CPA review. Full refund within 30 days of enrollment, provided you have not passed the final assessment and have not been issued a CPE certificate. Once a certificate is issued the course is considered complete and is no longer refundable, because the CPE credit has been earned.

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval, with written confirmation. If [SPONSOR ENTITY] discontinues a course before you complete it, you receive an automatic full refund or, at your option, transfer of enrollment to a replacement course. This policy does not limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection law in [STATE].

Email [SUPPORT EMAIL] with your full name, contact information, course title, and a description of the issue, including relevant dates and supporting detail.

Complaints and resolutions are documented and retained for [RETENTION PERIOD]. If you are not satisfied, escalate to [TITLE] at [EMAIL]. Nothing in this policy prevents you from contacting NASBA or your state board of accountancy.
CPE credit basis
