Florida requires a five year degree. Being an old timer coming from NY I was required to have a four year degree in accounting and work for a cpa firm for three years,
The five year degree has no work requirement. So a Florida CPA can practice without having done an audit or a tax return.
With the major shortage of accountants many states are considering going back to a four year degree and requiring 1 year with a CPA.
