Attention Illinois CPAs:
Are you licensed? If not, you must be registered.
Illinois law requires that all CPAs who are not licensed but hold themselves out to the public in Illinois in any way as a CPA, must register with the llinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. This would include anyone who uses the CPA designation on resumes, business cards, letterhead or in any other manner.
Please note: Although the deadline to register was October 1, 2006, it's not too late.
Special accommodations are in place for out-of-state CPAs meeting certain criteria.
Vist the Illinois CPA Society website for more information.
