Boards of Accountancy
Anyone
who wishes to qualify or practice as a Certified Public
Accountant (CPA) must do so under the laws of the
state or jurisdiction in which they want to practice.
There is no national CPA certification or licensing
body; instead all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
and US Territories have boards of accountancy that
set the certification and licensing requirements.
All boards list the Uniform
CPA Examination as one of the certification and licensing
requirements. The American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (AICPA) prepares the exam, which
measures business law and professional responsibilities,
auditing, accounting and reporting, and financial
accounting and reporting. The exam is offered twice
yearly and lasts two days. For more information, contact
the AICPA at the following address:
AICPA, 201 Plaza Three,
Jersey City, NJ 07311-3881, USA. www.aicpa.org
In addition, most boards
require at least a Bachelors Degree and a minimum
of two years public accounting experience. Most boards
do not require US citizenship, but some may require
US residency.
For more information,
please contact the National Association of State Boards
of Accountancy (NASBA) at the following address:
