New rules part of CPA license
Robert Dornan will become one of the last certified public accountants in New York state to have completed only 120 credit hours of coursework.
The rules have changed for CPAs. As of Aug. 1, licensure in New York requires 150 completed credit hours.
May 2009 graduates with bachelor’s degrees in accounting, including Dornan, rushed to meet the deadline to submit their applications.
“I was prepared,” said Dornan, a recent Niagara University graduate. “But I was at a national accounting boards meeting in Indianapolis … and a lot of students said they had a lot of difficulty in applying because they didn’t know much about it.”
