An Act amending the act of May 26, 1947 (P.L.318, No.140), known as the CPA Law, further providing for definitions, for general powers of the board, for examination and for requirements for issuance of certificate; repealing provisions relating to practice in this Commonwealth by individuals under substantial equivalency; further providing for practice outside this Commonwealth under substantial equivalency and for practice by firms and unlicensed entities under substantial equivalency; providing for practice in this Commonwealth by individuals under automatic mobility; and further providing for licenses to practice, for licensing of firms, for grounds for discipline, for reinstatement and for unlawful acts.
HB 1410 updates Pennsylvania's CPA licensing law to modernize professional practice rules. It removes outdated requirements for out-of-state CPAs to prove "substantial equivalency" and replaces this with automatic mobility for qualified individuals seeking to practice in Pennsylvania. The bill also clarifies licensing for accounting firms, adds new discipline rules for violations, and revises certificate issuance procedures. These changes primarily affect licensed CPAs, accounting firms, and professionals seeking to practice in Pennsylvania under updated standards.
