Summary

Session
Regular Session 2015
Title
Certified public accountants, qualifications revised, education requirements revised, Sec. 34-1-4 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, and among other qualifications, a certificate of certified public accountancy may be issued to an individual who is a United States citizen, is legally present in the United States, or has duly declared his or her intent to become a citizen.

This bill would remove the provision allowing certification if the individual declares his or her intent to become a citizen.

Also under existing law, in order to be eligible to sit for the uniform CPA examination, a person must have completed a total of 150 semester hours or 225 quarter hours of education, including a baccalaureate degree at a regionally accredited college or university.

This bill would reduce the semester and quarter hours required to 120 and 180, respectively, effective January 1, 2016.
