CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY

10-01-07

Ahmed Abdelhalim

Sunnyside, New York

(Queens College, New York, Master of Science in Accounting, February 2009)

Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) Examination.

Statement of Problem: Commissioner's Regulations require that an applicant must pass all parts of the Uniform CPA Examination within 18 months.  Ahmed Abdelhalim passed the four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination as a candidate in California under requirements that are different than conditioning requirements in New York.

In August 2004, Mr. Abdelhalim passed the Regulation (REG) section during the first six months the computer-based examination was offered.  When the examination transitioned to a computer-based exam in 2004, California allowed candidates who had passed their first section between April 2004 and October 2004 to retain credit for that section for 24 months.  New York allowed such applicants only 18 months to pass the remaining 3 sections.  Mr. Abdelhalim passed the remaining three sections as follows: Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) in April 2006, Business Environment and Concepts (BEC) in July 2006, and Auditing and Attestation (AUD) in August 2006, all within California’s 24-month conditioning period, but five months outside New York’s conditioning period.

              The Executive Secretary for the State Board for Public Accountancy supports Mr. Abdelhalim’s petition to waive the 18-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.

APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS:

QUALIFICATIONS:

Section 7404 of Education Law and Part 70 of the Commissioner’s Regulations require:

 

(1) A bachelor’s or higher degree based on a program in accountancy.

  • Queens College, Master of Science in Accounting, February 2009.

(2) Passing scores on the Uniform CPA Examination.

(2) (a) August 2004: Regulation (passing score).

      (b) April 2006: Financial Accounting and Reporting (passing score).

      (c) July 2006: Business Environment and Concepts (passing score).

      (d) August 2006: Auditing and Attestation (passing score).

(3) Two years of satisfactory experience.

(3)

RECOMMENDATION: The Committee on the Professions, in concurrence with the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy, recommends that the applicant’s petition for acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform CPA Examination be accepted.

Angelita Negron

Bronx, New York

(Pace University, New York, Bachelor of Business Administration in Public Accounting, June 2003)

Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) Examination.

Statement of Problem: Commissioner's Regulations require that an applicant must pass all parts of the Uniform CPA Examination within 18 months.  Angelita Negron passed the four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination, but she exceeded the conditioning requirement by two months. 

Ms. Negron originally received conditional credit for passing the computer-based Business Environment and Concepts (BEC) section of the examination in November 2007.  She subsequently passed the computer-based Auditing and Attestation (AUD) section in April 2008 and Regulation (REG) in February 2009.  Ms. Negron needed to pass the fourth section, Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), by June 30, 2009 to retain credit for the BEC section she passed in November 2007. She sat for FAR twice before passing it in August 2009, two months after losing conditional credit for BEC.  Her credit for the AUD expired on December 31, 2009 as she was preparing the materials necessary to pursue a waiver of the 18-month conditioning period.

Ms. Negron has provided documentation of personal factors to substantiate her petition for waiver of the 18-month requirement to pass all four parts of the examination.  Based on the documentation and Ms. Negron’s successful attempt to pass the FAR section in the next available testing window after the personal factors had subsided, the Executive Secretary for the State Board for Public Accountancy supports Ms. Negron’s request to waive the 18-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.

Jonathan Zeva

Brooklyn, New York

(Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York, Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting, May 31, 2007)

Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) Examination.

Statement of Problem: Jonathan Zeva, an applicant for licensure as a CPA, recently passed the four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination, but exceeded the 18-month conditioning requirement.   

Mr. Zeva sat for and passed the Business Environment and Concepts (BEC) section in October 2007 and the Regulation (REG) section of the Examination in November 2007.  He needed to pass the remaining two sections by June 30, 2009 to retain credit for the BEC and REG sections.  He passed Auditing and Attestation (AUD) in May 2008 within the 18-month conditioning period. He attempted, but failed the remaining Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) section two times within the conditioning period.  He made a final attempt and passed the FAR section in August 2009, two months after he lost credit for BEC and REG. 

Mr. Zeva reports that his efforts to prepare for and pass the FAR section were hindered by personal factors, which he has documented.

Based on the documented personal factors, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports his petition to waive the 18-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.

David L. Glassco

Chicago, IL  60613

(Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, O.D., 1987)

Petition for:  Waiver of New York State practical examination requirement.

Statement of Problem:  Dr. Glassco has not passed a satisfactory practical examination as required for licensure either by the endorsement or examination route.  New York State accepts a passing score on Part III of the National Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) examination to satisfy the practical examination requirement.  The NBEO practical examination was not available when Dr. Glassco was licensed in Ohio in 1987.  Besides the national written examination, the applicant has also successfully passed the Ohio State Board Examination, which consisted of a written examination and a clinical examination, and the Kentucky Board examination.

Dr. Glassco has documented over 12 years of licensed practice in Ohio, Kentucky & Illinois since he received certification by the Ohio State Board of Optometry in October 1992 in therapeutic pharmaceutical agents. 

Based on Dr. Glassco's demonstration of clinical skills through his years of hands-on licensed practice and his success on other professional examinations, the Acting Executive Secretary of the State Board for Optometry recommends that the requirement for a satisfactory practical examination (NBEO Part III) be considered satisfied.

Mark DeSantis

West Islip, New York 11795

(Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, Kirksville, Missouri, Doctor of Osteopathy, September 1993)

Petition for:  Waiver of the licensing examination.

Statement of Problem:   Dr. DeSantis received his Doctor of Osteopathy degree in September 1993 but has not passed a satisfactory licensing examination acceptable to New York State.  Dr. DeSantis took the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NCOME) Part I/Level 1 examination eight times from June 1991 to June 1999 but did not obtain a satisfactory passing score. The three-part NBOME examination was replaced by a three-level Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination in 1998 (Part I), 1997 (Part II), and 1995 (Part III).  He is asking that a November 1999 two-day state examination passed for the State of West Virginia be accepted instead.  Dr. DeSantis obtained his West Virginia license as an osteopathic physician and surgeon in January 2000. 

Section 6524 of Education Law requires an applicant for licensure as a physician to pass an examination satisfactory to the New York State Board for Medicine and in accordance with the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. Section 60.4 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires that a medical school graduate fulfill the examination requirement by submitting evidence of having achieved grades acceptable to the State Board for Medicine on one of the following examinations:  all parts of the examination of the National Board of Medical Examiners, all parts of the examination of the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners, all parts of the Federal Licensing Examination, all steps of the United States Medical Licensing Examination, or certain state-constructed medical examinations taken prior to January 1, 1972. 

           During the review of Dr. DeSantis’ application for medical licensure, the New York State Board for Medicine requested a statement from the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) regarding the equivalence between their national examination and the examination that was administered by West Virginia.  NBOME submitted a statement indicating that prior to 2000 it provided a written osteopathic examination for use by individual state licensing boards and that the questions for the examination came from a common data bank of questions maintained by NBOME.  However, NBOME did not provide a statement indicating that the NBOME national examination and the state examination were equivalent. 

           The State Board has reviewed all documentation submitted by Dr. DeSantis in support of his application. This documentation included evidence of licenses in West Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Florida; Specialty Certification in Nuclear Medicine from the American Osteopathic Board of Nuclear Medicine and Specialty Certification in Diagnostic Radiology from the American Board of Physician Specialties; residency positions; staff positions at SUNY Downstate and SUNY Stony Brook; and letters of recommendation. The American Board of Physician Specialties is not equivalent to the American Board of Medical Specialties, the organization the Department recognizes as setting the appropriate standards for American board certification.

              The State Board recognizes the accomplishments of Dr. DeSantis in the medical field.  However, the State Board believes that without a statement of examination equivalency from the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners, the reliance on the West Virginia state examination would be contrary to our regulations.  Additionally, it would subject the Department’s licensing decisions to challenges on the grounds that the Department was being arbitrary and capricious in their determinations.

Sections 60.1 and 60.5 of the Commissioner’s Regulations require:

 

(1) Six years of postsecondary education, including at least 32 months of medical education.
