At CalCPA, we're committed to inspiring the next generation of accounting professionals and supporting them throughout their careers. We’re working with stakeholders across the profession to tell more compelling stories about the profession, make it more accessible to diverse students, remove obstacles along the career journey, and facilitate a welcoming, supportive workplace culture. Part of those efforts include forming the CalCPA California Pipeline Advisory Group (CPAG) to evaluate and provide feedback on potential licensure and regulatory framework changes.

The CPAG includes members representing firms of all sizes, academic institutions, and various demographics and career stages. Its role is to evaluate potential changes to the CPA licensure framework, provide feedback, assess the impact on California candidates, CPAs and consumers, and help guide efforts to address pipeline challenges. Representatives from the California Board of Accountancy also participate as invited guests to offer regulatory insights and context.

We are always looking for new legislation that may impact how you work or would affect your clients or employers.
