Apparently both of the accountants froze and had to be pushed out to correct the mistake.

Pretty much all accounting programs at schools are 150 hours now, building in an MBA program (I would call it 'MBA Lite') into the program.
Requirements for being a licensed CPA vary by state, but typically it's the proper number of accounting courses (not necessarily an accounting degree, as some finance and other business majors can qualify), plus a set amount of relevant work experience along with passing the CPA Exam (4 parts) and completing the Ethics exam as well.
Maintaining a CPA license includes completing a number of CPE (continuing education) credits each year as well. For example, I passed the CPA exam in 1997 and was certified for the next 3 years, but didn't complete my CPEs (I didn't really need to be certified anymore), so let my certification go inactive.
I'm not sure about all the deals with how long the test results expire, but I thought that all four were supposed to be passed within a certain time period.
I don't think any one person alone is at fault. (Though I do expect the envelopes will look different next year!)
Yes, ever since they went to computer-based testing, it's something like 1 1/2 years from the date of passing at least one section that you have to pass the remaining sections.
