    The Board of Accountancy hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on November 13, 2014, by Sasha Harrison. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 40, No. 231, of the December 1, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of paragraph 61H1-28.0052(1)(b), F.A.C., entitled “Number of Sittings, and Granting of Credit, Release of Grades and Completion of Examination, Transition Rules,” that requires candidates to pass all four test sections of the CPA Examination within a rolling eighteen-month period, which begins on the NASBA grade release date for the first test section(s) passed. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public telephonic meeting, held March 6, 2015.

    The Board’s Order, filed on March 23, 2015, granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 473.306, Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance from paragraph 61H1-28.0052(1)(b), F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

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