CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY

08-08-07

Ke Ni

Clifton Park, New York 12065

 

(The University at Albany, Albany, New York, Master of Science in Accounting, August 2005)

 

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

 

Statement of Problem: Ke Ni, an applicant for licensure as a certified public accountant, passed all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination; however, she exceeded the 18-month conditioning requirements by six months. 

 

Ms. Ni originally received credit for passing the Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) section of the examination in April 2006.  She subsequently passed the Business Environment and Concepts (BEC) section in October 2006 and the Regulation (REG) section in April 2007.  Ms. Ni needed to pass the fourth section, Auditing and Attestation (AUD), by December 31, 2007 to retain credit for the FAR section she passed in April 2006.  She passed the AUD section in May 2008, six months after losing credit for the FAR section.

 

Ms. Ni had scheduled to take the AUD section in November 2007, within the 18-month conditioning period; however, due to documented medical reasons, she had to cancel.  Ms. Ni passed the AUD section in May 2008. 

 

Based on the documentation from Ms. Ni’s physician, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports her petition to waive the 18-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.

Holly Belcher

New York, New York

 

(Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, Bachelor of Science in Accounting, May 2003; Master of Accounting in Taxation, May 2004)

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

 

Statement of Problem: Holly Belcher, an applicant for licensure as a certified public accountant, has applied to transfer her examination scores from the state of Georgia.  Ms. Belcher passed the four sections of the Uniform CPA Examination in Georgia under standards that are different than New York.  She has not been licensed in Georgia. 

 

The computer based version of the Uniform CPA Examination was initiated in April 2004.  Georgia allowed applicants who sat for the computer based examination in the first six months it was administered to retain conditional credit for sections passed for 24 months rather than the 18-month requirement in New York.  Ms. Belcher passed the Regulation (REG) section in July 2004 and had until the end of July 2006 to pass the remaining sections under Georgia standards.  Ms. Belcher passed the Auditing and Attestation (AUD) section in October 2005, the Business Environment and Concepts (BEC) section in November 2005 and the Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) section in May 2006.  Ms. Belcher has been working for a large public accounting firm for the past four years and is petitioning to have her examination scores from Georgia accepted as meeting New York’s requirements.  

 

The Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports her request 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.

  • Florida State University, Bachelor of Science in Accounting, May 2003; Master of Accounting in Taxation, May 2004.

(2) Passing scores on the Uniform CPA Examination.

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

DIETETICS-NUTRITION

08-01-48 

Hao Yee (Jenny) Liu

Brooklyn, NY 11219

 

(Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, New York, M.S. in nutrition, 1994)

 

Petition for:  Waiver of education requirements.

 

Statement of Problem:   Ms. Liu submitted an application for licensure (dated November 9, 1995) prior to the deadline for consideration under the grandparenting (alternative) provisions. For the grandparenting alternative education pathway, the Department determined that the applicant lacked four semester credits in the professional dietetics and nutrition content area, including coursework in dietetic counseling.  The grandparenting requirements stipulated that the education requirements needed to be completed by January 1, 1996 (the end of the grandparent period). Ms. Liu was not notified until after that date that she had education deficiencies. 

 

              The New York State Board for Dietetics and Nutrition considered her application at its May 2008 meeting.  The Board supported issuance of a license and recommended that her “extensive experience, in dietetics and nutrition both in the U.S. and in China, her masters degree in nutrition from Brooklyn College, her medical degree and her active practice of integrative medicine within the Veterans Administration Hospital exceed any content that she might receive during 4 credits of coursework in dietetics and nutrition.”

 

              In addition, the American Dietetic Association has informed the Department that Ms. Liu has been a member since June 1, 2007. Had she been a member prior to January 1, 1996, she would have qualified for licensure under the grandparenting provisions.

 

APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS:

 

QUALIFICATIONS: 

Section 8004 of Education Law and Part 79-6 of the Commissioner's Regulations require for the baccalaureate degree alternative route:

 

(1)  A bachelor's or higher degree based on a program in dietetics or nutrition and which includes the equivalent of at least 45 semester hours in the nine curricular areas that constitute the professional dietetics and nutrition content area and at least 20 semester hours of course work in the human biological sciences and behavioral sciences content areas.

See Statement of Problem about deficiency.

(1) Guangdong Medical & Pharmaceutical College, Guangdong, People’s Republic of China, Bachelor of Medicine in public health, 1987; Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY, M.S. in nutrition, 1994, plus two nutrition courses 1994 - 1995.

 


 

(2)  Active engagement in the provision of nutrition care services for a minimum of three years during the five years immediately preceding January 1, 1993. 

(2) Three years of acceptable experience (1987 – 1990 in China).

 

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Committee on the Professions, in concurrence with the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dietetics and Nutrition, recommends that the applicant's petition for waiver of the education requirements be accepted.

DENTISTRY

08-05-50

Nirmala Tasgaonkar

Rochester, New York 14620

 

(University of Bombay, Nair Hospital Dental College, Mumbai, India, Bachelor of Dental Surgery, March 1979, and Master of Dental Surgery in Prosthetic Dentistry, February 1982)

 

Petition for:  Acceptance of education.

 

Statement of Problem:   Commissioner’s Regulations require the completion of two years of pre-professional education with required subjects prior to matriculation into the professional dental program.  Dr. Tasgaonkar completed one year of pre-professional education prior to beginning her dental program.  She covered all the required subject areas except for organic chemistry.  Following graduation from dental school, she successfully completed a Master of Dental Surgery program in Prosthetic Dentistry at Nair Hospital Dental College (1982). The Acting Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dentistry recommends that Dr. Tasgaonkar’s master’s program fulfill the pre-professional deficiencies. Commissioner’s Regulations allow the Committee on the Professions to accept up to 30 semester hours of study completed after the professional program toward the pre-professional requirement.

  

Additionally, Dr. Tasgaonkar did not complete the two academic years of study required in an accredited dental school program culminating in certification that the applicant has achieved the level of knowledge and clinical proficiency expected of a graduate of that school.  Such study is required for applicants completing a program of dental education in an unregistered or unaccredited dental school. Dr. Tasgaonkar enrolled in the two-year advanced program in general dentistry at the Eastman Dental Center of the University of Rochester and successfully completed the program in June 2008. This program is acknowledged by the State Board for Dentistry as the substantial equivalent of the two-year program required in regulation.

 

APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS:

QUALIFICATIONS:

Section 61 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires:

 

(1) Not less than 60 semester hours of pre-professional education including courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology or zoology, and physics.

(1)(a)  One year of pre-professional education from 1993-1994 at Ram Narain Ruia College, Bombay, India, covering general chemistry, biology, and physics.

 (1)(b)  Master of Dental Surgery in Prosthetic Dentistry, University of Bombay, Nair Hospital Dental College, Bombay, India, February 1982.


 

(2) Four academic years of dental education culminating in a degree in an acceptable dental school.

(2) Four years of acceptable dental education culminating in the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery, University of Bombay, Nair Hospital Dental College, Bombay, India, March 1979.

(3) Two academic years of study in an accredited dental school program culminating in certification that the applicant has achieved the level of knowledge and clinical proficiency expected of a graduate of that school.

(3) Two-year advanced program in general dentistry at the University of Rochester, Eastman Dental Center, Rochester, New York, completed June 2008.

(4) Satisfactory scores on Parts I and II of the National Dental Board Examinations.

(4)  Satisfactory scores on Parts I and II of the National Dental Board Examinations.

(5) Acceptable clinically-based dental residency program of at least one year’s duration.

(5)

(6) United States citizen or alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States.

(6)

(7) Evidence of the required course in the identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment.

(7)  Completed the required course in the identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment.

 

RECOMMENDATION: The Committee on the Professions, in concurrence with the Acting Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dentistry, recommends  that the applicant's successful completion of the advanced program in general dentistry at the University of Rochester be accepted as the substantial equivalent of the required two academic years of dental study in a registered or accredited dental school program.  In addition, the Committee recommends the acceptance of the master’s degree as fulfilling the pre-professional education deficiencies.

Statement of Problem: The applicants listed below have satisfied the education and examination requirements for licensure as a dentist in New York State.
