Gilbert A. Fuller, the company's chief financial officer, and Jerry G. McClain, the Usana board's "audit committee financial expert," had both been described as certified public accountants in several of the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the paper reported.
Both officials are former CPAs. Fuller's certification expired in 1986, and McClain's in 2004. A valid certification isn't required for their jobs, but holders of expired licenses may not describe themselves as CPAs under Utah law, the paper reported.
