AICPA Members to Vote on Proposed Bylaw Amendment

In May 2010, the AICPA governing Council unanimously voted to ballot AICPA members on a proposed bylaw amendment to update the requirements for admission to the Institute. The recommendation is a part of the first major comprehensive review of membership requirements since the 1950s. The bylaw amendment would add a provision to the current CPA certificate requirement for voting membership. The proposed change would permit people to qualify for admission in the AICPA as voting members if they at any time possessed a valid CPA certificate and the certificate was not revoked as a result of a disciplinary action, or if they meet the education, examination and experience requirements set out in the Uniform Accountancy Act and are of good moral character and have never been granted a right to practice.
