CPA Experience Verification Question

    I live in a state where the CPA who verifies your work experience must only have “direct knowledge” of your work and must also have “reviewed your work”. I’m an auditor for a major corporation, but unfortunately I don’t have any CPAs in my department. My question is this, can I have someone from another department within my company sign my application to verify my work?

    Also, could I hire another CPA outside my company to review my work and sign it? I would think both scenarios would work just fine as technically, both would have “knowledge” of my work and would have reviewed my work, right?

    Will the CPA who signs my application be held liable or could there be any negative consequences? I wouldn’t think so since the rules are so vague, it would just be a misinterpretation of the rules…

    Thoughts? Thanks everyone!

    I broke down and just called the board in my state when I had a question about experience. It's way easier that way — especially since you didn't even list your state. 🙂

    I'm in GA and I tried calling them, but it's almost impossible to get through and then when I do, I usually get someone who doesn't know so they have to “call me back”.

    Broke down? Do I have a better chance if I start crying? I can do that – I'm almost to that point anyways.
