State Board of Accountancy - Connecticut Society of CPAs

While the Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants is the only professional membership association for the state's CPAs, the Connecticut State Board of Accountancy (housed under the Department of Consumer Protection) is the body that regulates the state's CPAs and oversees licensing, continuing professional education requirements, quality review, examination, regulation, and discipline.
