Greetings gentlemen, it has been a while.
I recently obtained my CPA license last month and will
now be leaving Big 4. I was curious if someone could
break down the CPE requirement- I am moving to a
financial analyst position and will be out of accounting
(hopefully, for a very long time), but still want to keep
my CPA license active as I worked so hard to get it.
What I found was this:

My question is, since I've been working on an attest
engagement at a Big 4 acc firm for about a month since I
got licensed (but no opinion has been issued- I'm just
doing interim fieldwork), do I still need the 24 hours
for A&A? Or, since I'm leaving public accounting, what
type of CPEs will I need to keep my license active? Just
80 general hours? I talked to a lady at the California
Board of Accountancy, and she was saying like I probably
won't need to do 24 A&A hours since I'm leaving public
accounting, but probably will still need 40 technical
hours...
This is all very confusing, can someone break it down?
