Could a simple licensing change increase the number of CPAs by 15%?
Thanks to Accounting Today for publishing my article "Could a simple licensing change increase the number of CPAs by 15%?" based on my podcast conversation with Sharon Lassar, Ph.D., CPA , director of the School of Accountancy at the University of Denver.
Read the article to learn:
How the 150-hour rule for licensure has led to a 15% decline in #CPA candidates (about 10,000 fewer per year)
Why there is no measurable difference in quality between CPAs with 120 semester credit hours and those with 150.
Why high-quality master's programs will continue to attract students regardless of the rules.
How changing the rule could be simple if national leadership provided guidance to the states to make the change
