Im a CPA but am not licensed in a state that is deemed substantially equivalent by the California Board of Accountancy. What options do I have to qualify for California Practice Privilege?
You may qualify for California Practice Privilege by meeting either of the following requirements: • Have practiced public accountancy as a CPA under a current, valid license issued by any state for four of the last 10 years, or • Submit documents reflecting successful passage of the CPA examination, college transcripts and documents reflecting completion of experience to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy’s (NASBA) CredentialNet. CredentialNet will evaluate your licensure information and determine equivalency. If deemed substantially equivalent, a file number will be given to you to use for submission of the California Practice Privilege Notification Form. Information regarding CredentialNet can be found on NASBA’s Web site at www.nasba.org.
