Abstract

Reforming occupational licensing in accounting and financial advising is critical to maintaining the integrity and efficiency of our capital markets, which depend on a steady supply of qualified professionals. Current regulations, like the 150-hour rule for CPA licensure and stringent standards in financial advising, have unintentionally tightened labor markets by creating unnecessary barriers to entry, risking the quality and accessibility of essential services. In this chapter, I discuss possible reforms, such as revised educational requirements to make the pathways to CPA certification and financial advising credentials more accessible while maintaining the profession’s high standards. I also discuss how incorporating AI and advanced technologies into professional training can greatly enhance efficiency and ensure that CPAs and financial advisors are well-prepared to meet the demands of today’s capital markets.
