(1) Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of accountants by the California Board of Accountancy. Existing law sets forth the fee structure for licensure as an accountant, including for biennial renewal of a permit to practice. Existing law requires the board to fix the biennial renewal fee, in an amount not to exceed $250, so that the reserve balance in the board's contingent fund is equal to approximately 9 months of annual authorized expenditures. Existing law allows an increase in renewal fees only upon a determination by the board that additional moneys are required to fund authorized expenditures and maintain the board's contingent fund reserve.
