HB 1700 -- Certified Public Accountants Sponsor: Wasson This bill changes the laws regarding the licensure of certified public accountants. Certified public accountants who live out of state may qualify for a Missouri license if the state in which they hold their license has equivalent qualifications. Applicants must have an unrestricted license in their state and can only practice with a firm holding a valid state permit to practice certified public accountancy. The bill also expands the permit requirements for certified public accounting firms.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
