About Overtime Education

Who we are

Overtime Education is the continuing professional education business of Sanford Data Analytics, an Alabama company. We make one thing: ethics CPE for CPAs that is built around the state where you hold your license.

What a course is

Each course is QAS Self Study video. Review questions appear as you watch, a final assessment closes the course, and the certificate of completion carries the fields your state board asks for.

A course pairs a shared professional-ethics core with a module on your own board's statutes and rules, so the part that differs from state to state is taught from that state's text, not a national summary.

How a course is made

• Every statement about a law, a board rule or a professional standard is tied to a citation of its primary source.
• State statutes and board rules are quoted word for word. Professional standards are paraphrased and cited by section.
• Before a course is offered for credit, every citation is checked against its source. An automated reader compares each statement with the passage it cites. Anything it questions goes to a licensed CPA, who decides what must change and signs off the result, and a random sample of what it passes, drawn independently for each citation, is checked by hand by a licensed CPA to test the automated reader. Every step is kept in a record that cannot be altered without detection.
• Before a course is offered for credit, a qualified reviewer who did not develop it reviews it in full.
• Each course is reviewed at least once a year and revised as soon as feasible when the law it covers changes.
