pleased to announce that it approved 128 individuals (see attached list) for North Carolina CPA licensure on March 16, 2026.

About the Board

Established by Chapter 93 of the North Carolina General Statutes, the State Board of CPA Examiners is an occupational licensing board that issues certificates of qualification as Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) to individuals who meet the statutory requirements. The Board also adopts and enforces the rules of professional ethics and conduct that CPAs in North Carolina must observe. Members of the Board are appointed by the Governor and serve three-year terms. Five members must hold valid, unrevoked NC CPA certificates issued by the Board under the NC General Statutes. The remaining two members, who are not CPAs, represent the public at large.
