Capitolwire: Bill reforming CPA certification passes both chambers

HARRISBURG (July 3) – A bill changing the certification process for certified public accountants [CPAs] passed both chambers Thursday.

The bill, Senate Bill 838, brings the state’s CPA law into compliance with most other states’ as well as the federal Uniform Accountancy Act, lawmakers said.

If enacted, the bill would allow CPAs to practice in other states while also allowing CPAs from outside Pennsylvania to practice here without obtaining a new certification.
