Board approves multiple exam and scheduling extensions, OKs two settlement agreements
Summary
The Connecticut Board of Accountancy approved several individual exam and scheduling extensions, authorized two settlement agreements (one censuring a sole practitioner and ordering restitution and CPE, another censuring a firm for late peer-review compliance), and deferred one CPE extension pending documentation.
At its Nov. 4, 2025 meeting, the Connecticut Board of Accountancy approved several individual exam and scheduling extensions, accepted two settlement agreements and deferred action on one pending request for additional documentation.
The board approved minutes from its Sept. 2 and Sept. 25 meetings. It then approved a six-month exam-credit extension for Adiza Hazik after staff verified she had received credit for three exam sections; one member recorded a dissenting vote. The board granted a six-month notice-to-schedule (NTS) extension for Anne Moseley, a senior applicant requesting more time to test; staff confirmed supporting documentation had been provided. The board also approved a late exam extension for Michelle Curtis after she passed a portion of the CPA exam shortly after the technical expiration date.
The board deferred a second extension request from Michael Fino for additional continuing professional education (CPE) until January, requesting further medical documentation before taking action. Staff said they contacted the applicant but had not yet received the supplemental material.
On disciplinary matters, the board approved a settlement with Timothy Gaydos (case 2025-24), owner of Main Street Tax Services LLC. Staff summarized that Gaydos made errors preparing his client's 2023 tax returns for a decedent’s estate, including listing the wrong taxpayer name and address; the federal refund was delayed more than a year. Under the settlement he was censured, agreed to reimburse the complainant $850 for fees and interest, complete six additional CPE credits (three in tax and three in ethics), maintain regular contact with the Internal Revenue Service on the matter, and pay a $2,500 civil penalty.
The board also approved a settlement with O'Connell Pace & Co. (case 2025-39) after the firm failed to meet peer-review submission deadlines and was temporarily terminated from the peer-review program; staff said the firm re-enrolled and met a new deadline. The firm agreed to censure and a $500 penalty.
No board action was taken to change regulations at this meeting; legal staff reported proposed regulations remain under review by the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) for sufficiency, the Legislative Commissioners’ Office (LCO) and the Attorney General’s Office.
The board adjourned after routine administrative items and a report on recent national meetings.
