    I'm not sure about CPAs in general in CA. But, according to the following document located at http://calcpa.org/Content/Files/Gove...laws012007.pdf it doesn't look like a person could be a member of that CPA organization if they do have a felony on their record.

    Below, is a quote from that site.

    (12) Disciplinary Suspension and Termination of Membership. Membership in CalCPA shall be suspended should there be filed with the secretary/treasurer of CalCPA a judgment of conviction imposed upon any member for:

    (a) A crime defined as a felony (or its equivalent) under the law of the conviction jurisdiction;

    It is possible that there might be some kind of waiver that a person could get in California to allow a person to operate as a CPA if a felon is basically barred from operating as a CPA. In Illinois, there is a waiver program available to convicted felons, depending on the type of felony conviction, the length of time since the conviction, etc. that allows a felon to work in certain positions. Perhaps there might be a similar program in California?
