On March 4, the AICPA and NASBA proposed new changes to the Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA). These updates reflect feedback gathered during the 2024 exposure draft period, as well as forward-looking solutions led by state CPA societies, including NCACPA.
The proposed UAA changes would:
- Enable states to adopt a third licensure pathway (earn a bachelor’s degree, complete two years of professional experience, and pass the CPA Examination)
- Shift to an “individual-based” mobility model, which allows CPAs to practice in other states with just one license
- Add safe harbor language to ensure CPAs who meet existing licensure requirements preserve practice privileges
