US/Maryland Manual

This Board was first established by Chapter
719, Acts of 1900. Consisting of five members,
the Board is appointed by the Governor with the
advice of the Secretary of Licensing and Regula-
tion. Three members must be currently enrolled
certified public accountants. One member must
be a full-time college professor in the field of ac-
counting at an accredited institution and hold a
Maryland certificate. One member must be a
practicing attorney at law. Each member serves a
three-year term.

The Board examines applicants for certificates
as certified public accountants, passes on applica-
tions by certified public accountants of other
states for reciprocal certificates, and enrolls certi-
fied public accountants and registered public ac-
countants.

Examinations are held in May and November
of each year. Certificates are issued by the Board
to those persons who pass the examinations or
whose applications for reciprocal certificates are
approved. The Board may for specified causes re-
voke or suspend any such certificate, registration,
or enrollment after written notice to the holder
and reasonable opportunity for a hearing. The
1970 General Assembly updated the laws that
provided for the minimum educational require-
ments to not less than a baccalaureate degree
with a major in accounting to become effective in
July 1974. The new law also gave the Board ju-
risdiction over professional ethics (Code 1957,
Art. 75A, secs. 1-23A).
