The licensure of public accountants enables the profession to declare to society CPAs' desire to serve the public. The first licensure of CPAs in the United States occurred in 1896 in New York (Philip H. Siegel and John T. Rigsby, “Institutionalization and Structuring of Certified Public Accountants: An Analysis of the Development of Education and Experience Requirements for Certified Public Accountants,” Journal of Management History, vol. 4, no. 2, 1998, pp. 81–93). Other states soon added public accountancy laws, with nearly all states setting requirements for CPAs by the early 1920s.
