About the Board

The State Board of Accountancy regulates the profession of certified public accountants, both individuals and public accounting firms. The practice of public accounting includes the issuance of reports on financial statements, management advisory or consulting services, preparation of tax returns and furnishing advice on tax matters. The mission of the Board is to:

  • identify, examine and license qualified practitioners;
  • identify and license qualified public accounting firms;
  • conduct investigations to ensure that practitioners comply with generally accepted standards of practice or conduct; and
  • restrict or revoke licenses when generally accepted standards of practice or conduct are not met.
For more detailed information, you may want to review the Division of Registrations Budget Narrative, which includes the following:

The Board is responsible for:

  • licensing and regulating individual Certified Public Accountants (CPAs);
  • registering and regulating Certified Public Accounting Firms;
  • administering the Uniform CPA Examination;
  • renewing individual licenses every two years and firm licenses every three years;
  • monitoring continuing education of its licensees;
  • making rules and regulations for the orderly conduct of its affairs and for the administration of the Accountants Law;
  • making appropriate rules of professional conduct in order to establish and maintain a high standard of integrity in the profession of public accounting;
  • investigating complaints against its licensees;
  • conducting disciplinary hearings against licensees who are alleged to have violated the Accountants Law or the Board's Rules and Regulations;
  • issuing disciplinary actions against licensees who violate the Accountants Law or the Board's Rules and Regulations; and
  • meeting on a regular basis to conduct its business.

The Board also publishes a newsletter containing information licensees should know about.

General Information

  • The Board conducts regular meetings, approximately every five to seven weeks. During the meetings, the Board addresses issues that are relevant to its responsibilities and issues of importance to the accounting profession in general.
  • The Board conducts its meetings in accordance with the "Open Meetings" law. Members of the public are invited to attend.
  • Meeting times and locations and the meeting agenda are generally posted ten days prior to the scheduled meeting on the Public Notices page.
  • The meeting minutes of the Open Agenda will be posted below when they have been finalized and signed.
  • Since complaints against licensees are held confidential until the Board takes action, the Board considers complaints in a "closed" executive session which is not open to the public. Dismissed complaints are not open to the public.
  • Committee meetings are not scheduled on a routine basis. Notices of committee meetings will be posted on the Public Notices page as far in advance of the meeting as possible.
