SB 773 California Senate · 2011-2012 Regular Session

Accountants.

Summary
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of accountants by the California Board of Accountancy in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires an applicant for an accountancy license to complete a minimum of 24 semester units in accounting subjects and a minimum of 24 semester units in business-related subjects, or as calculated in quarter units. Existing law, on and after January 1, 2014, requires an applicant for an accountancy license to complete an additional 10 units in ethics study and 20 units in accounting study, and establishes an advisory committee to recommend to the board ethics study guidelines, to be adopted by the board by regulation. This bill would set forth the ethics study requirements that, on and after January 1, 2014, would apply to an applicant for an accountancy license, as specified. The bill would authorize the advisory committee described above to determine that a course or portion of a course satisfies the ethics study requirements. The bill would make conforming changes to related provisions and delete the requirement that the board adopt these provisions by regulation.
