61H1-27.002: Concentrations in Accounting and Business

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on September 19, 2007, the Board of Accountancy has issued an order.

The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on April 17, 2007, by Paula Loop. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 33, No. 18, of the May 4, 2007, F.A.W. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of paragraph 61H1-27.002(2)(a), F.A.C., entitled “Concentrations in Accounting and Business” with regard to the requirement that an applicant for licensure must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university and that 36 semester or 54 quarter hours earned in accounting education must be above the elementary level. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held July 20, 2007, in Tampa, Florida.

The Board’s Order denied the petition. The Board granted Petitioner’s application for licensure by endorsement on other grounds. In that Petitioner had already achieved what she sought to do through waiver of the rule, the petition was denied for mootness.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Veloria Kelly, Division Director, Board of Accountancy, 240 N. W. 76th Dr., Suite A, Gainesville, Florida 32607.
