Analysis prepared by the Department of Regulation and Licensing
An applicant for a certificate as a certified public accountant is required to have earned a bachelor's or higher degree with an accounting concentration or its reasonable equivalent as determined by the Accounting Examining Board. An applicant must have 1 1/2 years of accounting experience equivalent to that of a senior in public practice.
The Accounting Examining Board amends its rule on experience in public practice to require that an applicant acquire senior level experience after earning a degree with an accounting concentration or a degree that is reasonably equivalent.
Text of Rule
SECTION 1. Accy 5.04 is amended to read:
Accy 5.04 Experience in public practice. An individual must have adequate accounting experience at the level of a junior in public practice before senior experience is possible. Such junior experience normally requires approximately 1 1/2 years, thus at least 3 years of experience in public practice is normally required to earn 1 1/2 years of experience at the senior level.
Senior level experience shall be acquired after the applicant has earned a degree that qualified the applicant to take the CPA examination as described in s. Accy 3.04.
Fiscal Estimate
1. The anticipated fiscal effect on the fiscal liability and revenues of any local unit of government of the proposed rule is: $0.00.
2. The projected anticipated state fiscal effect during the current biennium of the proposed rule is: $0.00.
3. The projected net annualized fiscal impact on state funds of the proposed rule is: $0.00.
Initial Flexibility Analysis
These proposed rules will be reviewed by the department through its Small Business Review Advisory Committee to determine whether there will be an economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, as defined in s.
227.114 (1) (a), Stats.
