Apr. 17, 2020: Dear New CPAs –

To protect the health and well-being of our honorees and families from the COVID-19 public health crisis, the Oklahoma Accountancy Board (OAB) has cancelled the spring New CPA Recognition Ceremony scheduled for May 16, 2020.

While we share your disappointment that you will not get the opportunity to celebrate and be recognized for your immense achievement this spring, we are excited to extend you an invitation to our fall Recognition Ceremony scheduled for November 21, 2020.   The event will be held at Oklahoma City Community College Performing Arts Center.   Please email Heather Grable, at hgrable@oab.ok.gov, if you would like to attend the fall ceremony.

Beginning May 18^th, the OAB will send CPA certificates through the United State Postal Service to the address we have for you on file.  Please notify the OAB if you need your CPA certificate mailed to an alternate address.   If you plan to attend the fall ceremony, we ask that you do not remove your certificate from the clear cover or frame your CPA certificate. Instead, bring your CPA certificate to the ceremony so the Chair of the OAB can officially present it to you.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.  The Oklahoma Accountancy Board and staff congratulate you on becoming a CPA!

Heather Grable, CPE Coordinator
