Hi All,

I am currently a member of ACCA (UK) and have a bachelors
degree in accounting from Oxford Brookes University.

I have three years of public accounting experience from
Pakistan.

I am currently working at an accounting firm in Canada
dealing with private clients and I am working under a
CPA.

Which state should I apply for?

I do not want to take any additional courses to be
eligible to write the CPA exam.

Thanks

Colorado is the only state that recognizes ACCA.
Make sure your supervisor is an active CPA or Canadian CA, many in Canada only have a CPA certificate from Delaware or Illinois not a license.

Actually, as of October 29, 2009 Colorado no longer recognizes any Chartered Accountants. This affects ACCA member as well.

Having said that, I know in some states such as Michigan, while they do not explicitly state that they recognize ACCAs, in experience any ACCA members who has applied for credential evaluation for Michigan has been approved to write the CPA exam without being required to take any additional courses.

So if i re-phrase my question, while none of the states explicity state that they recognize ACCA members, 

Are there any ACCA members on this forum who have experience with going through the credential evaluation process for any of the US states?

Hi Guvernor,

When I read NASBA rules this is what I think.

Old  rule : those who had ACCA and CA could write CPA exams without any evaluation.You just show them the membership certificate and you could write CPA exams.

Evaluation was done only for the licensure.

Now present rule: You have to evaluate and then only you can write CPA exams.

That is what I understand.Please let me know if you have more information.

Hi Guvernor,

I think you will have to wait for some time.As per the new rules, Colorado Board wants an evaluation before writing exams and all exam applications and license applications are on hold as of October 28, 2009.

Board will meet only on December 9, 2009. You may have more information on the website only after December 9, 2009.
