accounting. The 24 hours may include up to 6 hours of credit in business law. (The term "accounting" means

accounting, auditing, or a related field, e.g., valuation engineering or financial institution examining; (b) a
panel of at least two higher level professional accountants or auditors has determined that the applicant
has demonstrated a good knowledge of accounting and of related and underlying fields that equals in
