The AICPA and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) are seeking input on proposed changes to the Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA) that would pave the way for states to adopt an additional pathway for CPA licensure.
The UAA provides state legislatures and boards of accountancy with a national model designed to protect the public, as well as mobility and the rigor of CPA licensure.
The proposed changes accommodate state adoption of the CPA Competency-Based Experience Pathway, a program currently open for public comment that, if approved, would increase flexibility for CPA candidates by adding a series of professional and technical competencies instead of the final 30 credit hours in the current 150-credit-hours model.
The AICPA and NASBA will accept comments on the proposed UAA changes through Monday, Dec. 30. Learn more.
