Bill > HB1147

This bill, concerning the licensure of certified public accountants (CPAs), modifies the educational requirements for individuals seeking to take the CPA examination and obtain initial licensure. Specifically, it clarifies that to be eligible to take the CPA exam, an individual must have either completed at least 120 semester hours of college education with an accounting concentration or an equivalent as determined by the board, or possess a baccalaureate degree with an accounting concentration or its equivalent. The bill also outlines pathways for meeting the educational requirements for initial licensure, including completing a baccalaureate degree with an accounting concentration, a baccalaureate degree totaling 150 hours with an accounting concentration, or a post-baccalaureate degree with an accounting concentration, all conferred by institutions acceptable to the board. The "board" refers to the Indiana State Board of Accountancy, which oversees CPA licensure in the state.
