AB 117: License Status Disclosure Update

CalCPA-sponsored AB 117 (Niello) is scheduled for a hearing Monday, June 29, with the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill would require CPAs with inactive licenses to disclose that fact when using the CPA designation by placing the word “(inactive)” immediately after CPA on business cards, stationary, résumés or other business communications.

The CBA allows CPAs employed by private business or government to use the title CPA on their business cards, résumés and in other business communications even if their license is “inactive.” CPAs in industry and government are often employed in the finance and accounting department of the business or government agency and involved in the preparation of financial statements for audit or in obtaining financing from banks or investors.

In today’s economy it is essential that employers, investors and consumers are provided with increased transparency in making investment and employment decisions.
