Attention Inactive and Delinquent CPAs

Effective Jan. 1, 2010 —With the governor's approval of AB 117 Oct. 11, CPAs with inactive licenses must disclose their license status whenever they use the CPA designation by placing "inactive" immediately after "CPA," the title "certified public accountant," the CPA designation or any other reference that would suggest you are licensed by the CBA, on business cards, stationery, résumés, websites or other business communications.

Licensees renewing a license in an inactive status will be issued a pocket identification card reflecting an inactive status and will also be identified as holding an inactive license on the CBA’s online License Look-up feature .
