Missing context

The notice does not explain the current criteria for accredited investor status, how a CPA designation would differ from existing categories, the potential impact on investors or markets, or any timeline or procedural steps for the SEC's consideration.

Important context

Accredited investor status is defined by the SEC and currently includes criteria such as net worth, income, and certain professional qualifications. Adding a CPA license would represent a change to those existing qualifications.
