USPAP Requirements by Discipline

ARM members need to successfully complete a 7-hour USPAP Update Course with every new release of USPAP (ie every time a new USPAP version and course is available - usually every two (2) years).  ARM members may take any version of USPAP to meet their continuing education requirements.


Business Valuation (BV) members must complete a minimum of seven (7) hours of USPAP course work every five (5) years. If this requirement is not completed, BV members are encouraged to take the 15-Hour BV USPAP Course and pass the associated exam to regain compliance.  Alternatively, the 7-Hour BV USPAP Update Course is also acceptable.  BV members should always obtain the most current edition of USPAP as it becomes available and adjust their practice methodologies as needed to align with any changes.   ASA strongly recommends BV members take the BV specific versions of the 7-Hour or 15-Hour USPAP Courses.
