What happens to an out-of-state CPA who commits in this state an act that is subject to disciplinary charges under state laws and regulations? Under the proposed legislation, the State Education Department is authorized to take disciplinary action against any out-of-state CPA who commits professional misconduct within this state, and is also required to file a complaint with the licensing entity of the out-of-state CPA for appropriate action. States are finding that they have no legal authority over individuals and companies licensed in another state who practice their profession (e.g., pharmacists who sell prescriptions) on the Internet. This legislation would give the State Education Department express legal authority to take disciplinary action against out-of-state CPAs who commit professional misconduct against a New York state resident.
