Hi
Does anyone know whats the requirement for transfering the license to the Florida Board.Have I to statisfy their educational requirements if I want to transfer my license???I am a CA from India and since Florida doesnt consider CA I wasnt eligible to take the exam from Fl.

I went thru the site but as usual its confusing.

Thanks in advance

If you want an authoritative answer, you should probably ask the Florida Board.

The statutes aren't that confusing, though.  Option 1 - "The board shall certify for licensure any applicant who successfully passes the licensure examination and satisfies the requirements of s. 473.306" where that section refers to the Florida educational requirements.

Since you weren't eligible to sit as a Florida candidate, Option 2 is "licensure by endorsement."  You aren't eligible under Option 2(a), which is essentially for people who are transfering scores in from another jurisdiction, but meets all the FL requirements.  Option 2(b)(1) is for people who are licensed in a substantially equivalent jurisdiction (which CO isn't).  Option 2(b)(2) is for people who are licensed in non-substantially-equivalent states (which CO is) but who personally meet FL's educational requirements.

Which leaves you with Option 3 - "If application for licensure is made prior to October 1, 2008, and the applicant has at least 5 years of experience in the practice of public accountancy in the United States or in the practice of public accountancy or its equivalent in a foreign country that the International Qualifications Appraisal Board of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy has determined has licensure standards that are substantially equivalent to those in the United States."  India is not considered to have substantially equivalent licensure standards.

So - looks like you need 5 years of US public accounting experience, and those 5 years need to be completed before October 2008.  Or you need to meet the FL educational requirements.
