"What State are you Certified in? You call yourself a CPA or are you a chartered accountant in England? The use of the CPA designates you passed an exam in THIS country. It does not mean you are licensed to practice in this country.Did you pass the exam in my country?"

I qualified in the UK as both a CA and PFA. Whilst working for KPMG in New York I attained my CPA status under the rules prevalent at that time allowing employers to submit a letter of recommendation where a persons relevant experience/existing qualifications exceed the requirements of your board. I therefore hold an international license. During the past 20 years I have practised under this license in NY & CT states, Toronto, Bermuda, Moscow and most of Europe. Im sorry but I no longer have my copy of the NY register from 15 years ago where my name appeared. There didnt seem much point - my 3 certificates were sufficient.
