Swearing-In Ceremony

Ceremony Information | Map to Palmer

Swearing-In ceremonies are organized twice a year by the Board to honor newly-licensed CPAs who completed the CPA Exam as a Texas candidate, and formally welcome them to the profession. It is a celebratory occasion that recognizes the years of work that new licensees have invested in achieving their goal while providing the opportunity to share this accomplishment with family and friends.

The program recognizes the Top 10 Texas candidates – those who have posted the ten highest cumulative scores on the Uniform CPA Exam, taking each section only once within 12 months from their initial testing date. The Board also takes this opportunity to recognize a special group of CPAs – those who have maintained their licenses for 50 years!

The presiding officer of the Board delivers a keynote address and the oath of office is administered. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the candidates file across the stage to receive their certificates individually as they shake the hands of Board members offering their congratulations.

Following the ceremony, new licensees and their families will have an opportunity to take photos in front of the Board banners and talk informally with Board members, 50-year members, and other newly-licensed CPAs, some of whom they might have known from college. The swearing-in ceremony offers a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate your achievements.

After you are registered as a new CPA, you will be sent an invitation to attend a swearing-in ceremony.
