The NASBA has rereleased CPAMobility.org, which is a modernized online resource that assists CPAs to find out where and how they can practice across states.

Practice privilege or CPA mobility laws let CPAs in good standing serve their clients in other states without obtaining a second license if certain requirements are met. CPAMobility.org offers licensees with a clear and user-friendly resource for accessing the rules with a few clicks.

The revamped website has simplified navigation and enhanced functionality, letting users search licensing requirements for different jurisdictions and determine if mobility applies, as a majority of states have adopted mobility legislation.

Updates to the site will let users conduct state-by-state searches with ease and view summaries that are concise, verified, and approved by the State Boards of Accountancy for accuracy as well as completeness. The NASBA Legal and Accountancy Licensing Library teams have also researched the summaries to ensure correctness. The information offered through CPAMobility.org will be continuously updated by NASBA to reflect rapidly changing mobility rules throughout state boards.

“As new pathways to licensure are being adopted across the country, this is creating new requirements in Board rules regarding practice privilege for their licensees,” stated NASBA Director of Compliance Services Amy Tongate. “Mobility is moving from consideration of where a CPA is licensed to how a CPA was licensed—not ‘state-based’ but ‘individual-based.’ The updates to CPAMobility.org make concise practice privilege rules summaries available within a simple search and view.”
