  • What Will Replace 150-Hour Rule? | EY CPAs Fired For Taking Too Much CPE

    What Will Replace 150-Hour Rule? | EY CPAs Fired For Taking Too Much CPE
    2024/10/30
    In this episode, Amber Setter returns to discuss the AICPA and NASBA's newly proposed competency-based pathway to CPA licensure, offering a 150-hour-rule alternative. They argue that the complexity of the plan might create more bureaucratic barriers rather than simplifying the process. There's also talk on the challenges facing the profession, including stagnant salaries and declining CPA numbers. Rounding out the show, they examine a recent story about EY firing employees for attending multiple online CPE courses at once.SponsorsLiveFlow - http://accountingpodcast.promo/liveflowZoho - http://accountingpodcast.promo/zohoCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casTabs - http://accountingpodcast.promo/tabsChapters(02:30) - Blake's Session on Automation Toolkit (05:11) - Sponsor Acknowledgements (05:34) - Discussion on AICPA and NASBA Competency Pathway (06:35) - Amber Setter's Insights on the Proposed Pathway (10:47) - Concerns and Practical Challenges (16:21) - Potential Impact on CPA Candidates (30:29) - Live Stream Viewer Comments and Questions (36:02) - Debating CPA Education Requirements (36:29) - Personal Journey to Becoming a CPA (37:18) - State Differences in CPA Experience Requirements (39:34) - NASBA's Influence on State Boards (41:47) - Challenges in CPA Firm Hiring Practices (42:38) - Value of Prior Work Experience (42:55) - Different CPA Licenses Across States (45:06) - Master's Degree in Accounting: Is It Worth It?
