Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(3) T h e Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to fourteen candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law. T h e names of the candidates are filed with the secretary. I concur in this recommendation. O n m o t i o n of D r . D o n o g h u e , these certificates w e r e a w a r d e d .

Amendment, University Rules and Regulations Governing the C.P.A. Examination

(4) In recent years, the Board of Trustees, on recommendation of the University Committee on Accountancy, reduced C.P.A. examination fees by $10 for condition Candidates (May 1978) and first-time candidates (June 1980) in order to reduce a growing surplus in the C.P.A. trust account. T h e committee now reports that the surplus no longer exists. Income is lower than expected due to a lower rate of increase in the number of candidates; and expenses have increased for grading, site rental, and other administrative support. Expenses'are expected to exceed receipts by the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the Committee on Accountancy recommends amendment of Rules 6,J 16(b), 16(c), and 17 of "Rules and Regulations Governing the Illinois C.P.A. Examination," effective for the November 1983 C.P.A. Examination, as follows: I Rule 6 be amended to read: Rule 6. Filing of the Application and Payment of Fees Applicants for the Examination for the C.P.A. certificate under the Act shall file their applications with the Committee on Accountancy at Ur1 John B.
