License Verification Search for CPAs
Summary
The Kansas Board of Accountancy (KSBOA) provides a free online search tool enabling the public to verify the license status of Certified Public Accountants and permit holders in Kansas. The Board explicitly states that individuals without 'ACTIVE' permit status are not licensed to practice as CPAs or hold themselves out to the public as CPAs. The Board disclaims liability for damages arising from reliance on the online information.
What changed
The Kansas Board of Accountancy maintains and publishes an online directory of all certificate holders and permit holders in the state. This is an informational resource providing public access to verify credentials; it does not establish new compliance obligations or modify existing licensing requirements.
CPAs and public accounting firms should be aware that the public can readily confirm their licensing status through this portal. Any individual whose permit status is not listed as 'ACTIVE' is explicitly prohibited from practicing as a CPA or providing services to the public under that credential. The Board notes that discipline and board action information may be obtained by contacting the Executive Director.
