CFA courses count towards CPE credits for CPA?

Does anyone know whether any part of the CFA curriculum or CFA review courses through third party providers qualify as CPE credits towards the CPA licensing requirements? I am a CPA in NY state and recently passed CFA Level I in June and am hoping to apply some of those long study hours to the CPA CPE requirements. I have been back and forth with the NY state CPA board and NYSSA but can’t seem to get a straight answer. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I havent done it yet, but have been told you can write something in to get credit, at least with passing the test. I never did it on any of the levels, but a friend did. At least in my state (TX).

Check with AICPA, they are probably a little more on the ball than the state board.

I was told by the AICPA that it depends on the state where you are licensed. I used Stalla and they said that you could be awarded CPE credit, but that the state would only award it if you attended “live lectures.” I did the self study class so I can already see this is going to be a problem for me. I will let you know what I find out.
