Here is the deal. I am a "Indiana" candidate who moved to Iowa. In lieu
of paying fees, I was planning to wait until I pass and then pay the $25
score transfer fee since both IA and IN partipicate. I was just thinking
today - does it even matter what state I am licensed in???? I am not
doing attest work anymore. I am now the Controller at a college and
people there do not tend to throw around their titles/licenses so I can't
imagine that they will really think of me differently after I officially pass.
From the fees I see, the renewal fee is cheaper in my old state than in
my new state by about $200 every 3 years. So if I am paying it out of
pocket and get the CPA only for my personal gain, why wouldn't I just
go for IN licensure? Also, Iowa requires the ethics exam and Indiana
doesn't. Not that that is a problem - just another expense and delay un
getting licensed. What am I missing? Maybe there are residency rules
which prevent this kind of thing.
