Board members, both drawn from the accounting profession and others, are appointed to serve by the Governor. State boards of accountancy have disciplinary and enforcement powers over licensees and operate on a complaint-based system.

To become licensed there are education, examination and experience components. To maintain a CPA license, continuing education requirements also must be fulfilled.
