The Uniform Accountancy Act

National Association of State Boards of Accountancy and the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA) is a model licensing law that is ever evolving. In 1984, the AICPA and NASBA published the first joint model bill, later renamed the Uniform Accountancy Act. The UAA was developed to provide a uniform approach to regulation of the accounting profession and provides state legislatures and Boards of Accountancy with a national model that can be adopted as is or adapted to meet the needs of each individual jurisdiction.
