Two exposure drafts on alternative pathways to licensure were recently released for comment, which provides members the opportunity to provide feedback to those shaping the laws and regulations that govern the accounting profession. Your input will help determine whether these changes are implemented as proposed or amended based on responses. Once the Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA) is amended, each state considers the changes and decides if they will adopt the recommendations.
- UAA Model Act and Model Rule changes that would add a new pathway to licensure and modify language regarding substantial equivalency, a concept used to determine whether a CPA can enjoy practice mobility in other states.
- CPA Competency-Based Experience Pathway provides details on the proposed pathway’s framework.
Several states have proposed or are considering other alternative pathways to licensure and measures to provide automatic license mobility to CPAs licensed in other states.
We Need Your Input!
NCACPA has developed a 5-minute survey to gather members’ input on key issues related to alternative pathways in the accounting profession. The results will be used by a board-appointed working group as the foundation for the Association’s official comment letter, ensuring your voice helps shape the future of the profession. The deadline for survey responses is November 1, which allows time to analyze the results and draft the response. The survey can be accessed here.
