Kentucky CPA Exam Requirements

obtained 150 college semester hours, and completed 1
year of experience in an accounting or auditing position in public
practice, academia, industry or government that can be verified
by an actively licensed CPA of any state, you may apply for a
Kentucky license.
- A year of experience is defined as 2000 hours in a period of not
less than 12 months earned after the awarding of a baccalaureate
degree.
- A certificate of experience may be submitted for more than one
employment situation to meet the 1-year of experience. The CPA
