DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION
The Board of Accountancy hereby gives notice: that on June 15, 2020, an Order was filed on the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petition was filed by Papa Haseena, on March 25, 2020 and an amended filing on March 27, 2020, seeking a permanent variance or waiver of paragraph 61H1-28.0052(1)(b), F.A.C., regarding the timeframes with respect to the CPA Examination, which requires that candidates must pass all four 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. In the event all four test sections of the CPA Examination are not passed within the rolling eighteen-month period, credit for any test section(s) passed outside the eighteen-month period will expire and that test section(s) must be retaken.
The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 46, No.67, on April 6, 2020, in the Florida Administrative Register. The Board, at its meeting held on May 15, 2020, voted to deny the Petition for Variance or Waiver finding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate a substantial hardship; failed to demonstrate that application of the rule would violate the principles of fairness; and failed to demonstrate that the purpose of the underlying statute had been met.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Roger Scarborough, Division Director, Board of Accountancy, 240 NW 76th Dr., Suite A, Gainesville, Florida 32607.
