What each status means
- Active
- The license is current and in good standing. This is what you want to see before you engage a CPA.
- Expired or inactive
- The license has lapsed or was placed on inactive status. The CPA cannot practice public accounting on it until it is renewed or reactivated.
- Suspended or revoked
- The board of accountancy has taken disciplinary action. The CPA is not authorized to practice, and the action is on the public record.
Verifying a Connecticut CPA
- Licensing authority
- CPAs in Connecticut are credentialed by the Connecticut State Board of Accountancy, and only a holder with an active CPA license may practice public accounting.
- Credential number
- A Connecticut credential number from the state's eLicense system. Connecticut separates the CPA license, filed under code CPAL, from the CPA certificate, filed under CPAC, so you pick which credential you are checking before entering the number.
- Renewal
- A Connecticut CPA credential shows its issue and expiration dates in the eLicense record; the status reads ACTIVE with the reason CURRENT while the credential is in force.
- Disciplinary history
- Public. Connecticut's eLicense system shows the status together with a reason, and it can read ACTIVE with the reason SUSPENDED - MAY NOT PRACTICE, so a license that looks active can still be one the state has acted against; revoked and surrendered credentials show there too.
Common questions
How do I know a Connecticut CPA is really licensed?
Find them by credential number on the Connecticut State Board of Accountancy's record with an active status. A CPA who cannot be found on the state's record is not licensed in Connecticut, whatever a website says.
What does an expired or inactive license mean?
The license is on file but not current, so the CPA cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated. The record shows the expiration date.
Can I see if a Connecticut CPA has been disciplined?
Public. Connecticut's eLicense system shows the status together with a reason, and it can read ACTIVE with the reason SUSPENDED - MAY NOT PRACTICE, so a license that looks active can still be one the state has acted against; revoked and surrendered credentials show there too.
