You will need to complete a minimum of 12 months of general accounting experience, and a minimum of attest hours to the satisfaction of the CBA. You will only need to complete the required attest hours and submit the appropriate documentation and fee to the CBA.
The CBA no longer requires this form. This applies to any and all applications currently being processed, regardless of application date. Upon pre-approval of your California CPA license application, you will be required to pay an initial license fee.
The initial license fee is independent of the application processing fee. The initial license fee is calculated based on the date of licensure and first expiration date of the new license. Each applicant will receive a CPA wall certificate, suitable for framing, approximately 15 days after payment of the initial CPA license fee. How much does it cost to apply for the license? How do I know the status of my application? Upon receipt of the application, the CBA will acknowledge your application has been received.
Within 30 days CBA staff will complete an initial review of the application and advise you of any outstanding documents required to complete your application. Applications with outstanding documents will be placed in a pending status. If subsequent documentation is submitted to the CBA, staff will advise you of any remaining outstanding documents within 30 days.
When you have successfully met the requirements to obtain your license, the CBA will notify you and request the initial license fee. Do I need to notify the CBA of an address or name change?

I took a three semester unit Business, Society and Government course. Can the units be applied to the business-related subjects, accounting study, and ethics study requirements? I have earned a Master of Accounting. Will the courses I took as part of the master's degree program qualify toward the other educational areas? The accounting study regulations require that a minimum of six semester units be completed in accounting study.
Is this in addition to the 24 semester units of accounting subjects presently required? The accounting study regulations indicate that the 20 semester units can come from accounting subjects, business-related subjects, and other academic work relevant to accounting and business. As a result, the CBA has been operating with an annual negative cash-flow, where expenditures exceed revenues, which has decreased its reserve fund.
With this in mind, the CBA will be pursuing an additional increase in the coming year. Beginning in , we will increase our use of email to improve and streamline communication with you.
To collect email addresses, the CBA is mailing a letter to licensees in late January with instructions how to provide through the CBA website. After you receive the letter, please follow the instructions and complete this process by February 28, Your letter will include a PIN to be used during the registration process.
Please save this PIN so you may update your email address online within 30 days of any change. Once the CBA has received your application and fee, CBA staff will provide an acknowledgement email that includes instructions to complete the fingerprinting process. Got a licensure question? You can submit your own question.
