Hi, having passed all 4 CPA exams (New Hampshire) I'm now having trouble to get my Certification (no focus currently on license). My WES evaluation was 124.5 in total (bachelor's degree from Germany), thereof 18.5 accounting/auditing, 90.5 business-related. The certificate was denied by the board due to my missing experience in public accounting. Since my graduation I've been working for a huge car & truck manufacturer (NYSE listed) in various Accounting and Reporting functions. Do you see any other chance for me to obtain a license in a different state? Maybe CO? Ricarda Someone to help me?

I am Canadian, have the 150hrs (undergrad in accounting), have an MBA and am a Canadian CMA working in the Cayman Islands. It's like pulling teeth asking the state boards for this information. I'm planning on calling NASBA soon, but thought this may be a good place to start. Also, should I get AUD and FAR out of the way before the end of 2010?

I am still unclear on this issue... and what is meant by "practice privilege".. Can you call yourself a CPA if you do the above in a state that requires 150 hours!...etc... If you have anymore info do share.. and also tell us where you got the info from. Lisa – It is so difficult to obtain information from state boards…..

What I'm trying to grasp now is this: if I get certified in CO then obtain the extra few credit hours to meet the 150-rule, can I then get certified in a state that requires 150 credits to sit for the exam? I just spoke with my home state's PLA, and they were not helpful. I'm very confused. This is good news!

Could be a problem if you are in Public Accounting and you want to practice in another state.<br/><br/>Because of this I will be getting the additional credits after I sit. Just do the research and know what you are getting yourself into and the limitations before you jump for the lessor option.

I already had an MBA and plenty of Accounting. Are there any other factors I'm not considering?
