UCSD Business Letter – CA CPA Licensure Essay
Description
Your new client, Addy Totals, has extensive corporate accounting experience (over 10 years), but recently moved to California and has not passed her CPA exam (none of the four parts). She has a few questions that she recently wrote you about, and she is expecting you to write back soon. In fact, you should send the letter by the end of this class period.
Here is her letter:

Dear [Your name]:
Subject: Question about getting a CPA license
As you know, I just finished by BSBA in Accounting from East Coast University and now I need to look into how to become a CPA in California. Since you are already licensed, I thought you might be able to answer a few questions and provide any other details I might have missed. I included my questions below. Thanks in advance!
- What are the educational requirements to sit for the CPA exam in California? I cannot seem to tell if a Bacheloràis adequate or do I need 150 hours? I cannot seem to make heads or tails of the California Business and Professions Code Section 5090-5094.
- Does California have an experience requirement? How long? What do I have to file with the Board to show I have the experience? Who égns off/n my experience? Am I required to get any certain kind of experience? Do all CPAs have to have that experience? Does the Board have any opportunity to review/audit my experience?
- Once I have passed the CPA exam, are any other exams required for licensure? If so, what kind of exams? How are those exams administered and by whom?
I know that all this information can be found at http://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/index.shtm Links to an external site., but I can seem to sort it all out. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Addy
