From the Paper:

"The Uniform CPA Examination is the examination that individuals must pass in order to get licensed as Certified Public Accountants in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. In order to take the examination, individuals must meet the requirements for education, experience, and knowledge and most states require 150 credits at a university. One such educational requirement is that if the initial application for examination is made prior to February 15, 2000, the candidate must have obtained a baccalaureate or equivalent degree conferred by an accredited school with a concentration in accounting or its equivalent. Additionally, another requirement is that a qualified candidate shall submit an application on Board approved forms with the required documentation. An applicant for certification shall have fiscal integrity and no history of acts involving dishonesty or acts which would constitute a violation of the rule regarding good moral character."
