Oregon Board of Accountancy adopts comments on UAA exposure draft ahead of May 3 deadline
Summary
The Board voted to adopt a comment letter on the UAA March 3, 2025 exposure draft, saying feedback so far has been largely positive; members authorized staff to submit the comments before the May 3 deadline.
The State of Oregon Board of Accountancy voted April 30 to adopt the board’s comments on the Uniform Accountancy Act (UAA) March 3, 2025 exposure draft and directed staff to submit them before the May 3 deadline.
Martin, speaking for the board, said “the comments that have come in so far are overwhelmingly positive.” Jason Robinson moved to adopt the comments as presented and Logan Steele seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members recorded as voting in favor. The board discussed keeping its comments high-level to reflect competency-based history and Oregon’s approach to mobility for licensees.
Board members noted the national context: NASBA and other state boards have raised concerns about the draft language’s potential to affect substantial equivalence determinations. The adopted letter emphasizes Oregon’s long-standing competency-based experience requirements and urges clarifications so that the draft does not inadvertently declare states non-equivalent for adopting competency-based pathways.
The board packet and staff materials were circulated in advance; the chair said the board would file the adopted comments by the close of business May 3. The board did not amend the substantive text of the draft comment during the meeting.
