BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 17

REGULAR AGENDA

The board considered the following reports and recommendations from the president of the University. By consensus, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 4 through 21 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(4) The 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 twelve 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.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, these certificates were awarded.

Adoption of Rules under the Illinois Public Accounting Act

(5) U n d e r the Illinois Public Accounting Act, the University has the responsibility for determining the qualifications of recipients of certificates as certified public accountants. T h e University is required to screen applicants for admittance to the CPA examination, to conduct and score the examination, and to issue certificates to successful candidates. In addition, the University acts on applications for Illinois certification of CPA's and candidates from other jurisdictions. T h e Committee on Accountancy, appointed by the president of the University, administers the act and a Board of Examiners, appointed by the Board of Trustees, administers the examinations. Public Act 83-291, approved by the governor on September 14, 1983, amended the Illinois Public Accounting Act in a number of ways: the citizenship requirements for applicants were altered, the terms of the Board of Examiners were limited, the University was directed to adopt and prescribe rules and regulations for the method of determining the qualifications of the applicants, the educational requirements of applicants were changed, and certain provisions for automatic revocation of certificates were eliminated. Other changes were made in the portion of the Act administered by the Department of Registration and Education. T h e University's Committee on Accountancy has recommended amendments to the University's existing rules and regulations in order to conform these rules and regulations with the requirements of PA 83-291. I concur in this recommendation and request adoption of the rules. (A copy of the rules is filed with the secretary of the board for record.)

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved.

Salafsky, presently acting director of the College of Medicine at Rockford, as senior associate dean of the College of Medicine and director of the College of Medicine at Rockford, effective November 18, 1983, on a twelve-month service basis at an annual salary of $80,000.
