- W231116321 abstract "Florida is the only state with nearly 10 years' experience dealing with a fifth year of accounting education required by state law. When the legislation was passed in 1979, few Florida CPAs were aware of the implications the requirement would have for their practices. The major initial impact was a drastic change in the number of new entrants to the profession. First-time candidates for the Uniform CPA Examination plummeted from 2,306 in November 1983 to 12 in May 1984. That number has increased and now, almost 10 years later, the pipeline has refilled, enabling practitioners to hire sufficient graduates with the requisite fifth year of education. After approximately a decade of experience, we have observed positive and negative developments in both education and practice. THE ISSUES FOR CPA FIRMS Initially, public practitioners did not adjust hiring practices adequately to prepare for the change-over. However, the quality of graduates has improved immeasurably, as shown by an improvement in the CPA exam pass rate for first-time candidates as well as less staff turnover reported by firms. Staff accountants with a fifth year of education are more knowledgeable and quicker studies; they deal better with complex accounting and tax issues, grasp new concepts quickly and have sounder backgrounds in communications, management sciences, logic, finance and marketing. They also see public accounting as a career, not just a stepping-stone. Average starting salaries have increased substantially, but higher billing rates can be justified because new hires become productive faster. Because more candidates pass the CPA exam on the first sitting, firms incur less cost in days lost while employees are preparing for and taking the exam. The result is happier employees who can concentrate on the important aspects of practice. Practitioners also believe the state's extra education requirement has improved CPAs' status among other professionals and clients. ISSUES FOR EDUCATORS Florida educators in general favored the adoption of the 150-hour requirement. The key factors that determined the ease or difficulty of implementing the requirement were whether an established graduate accounting program was in existence (established programs faced fewer changes in curriculum and class scheduling) and the institution's location (urban campuses faced greater pressure than residential ones for providing part-time opportunities for completing the additional courses). Also they had to decide whether to provide the additional hours primarily at the undergraduate or graduate level; most added to the graduate level. …" @default.
