Practice Privileges (For additional information on Practice Privileges, please review Ind. Code § 25-2.1-4-10.) A CPA who is not a resident of the state of Indiana and whose principal place of business is outside Indiana shall have all the privileges granted to an Indiana CPA without the need to obtain a certificate or a permit in Indiana if: - The CPA is licensed in a substantially equivalent state (see note below); or
- The CPA has individual qualifications that are substantially equivalent.
Practice privileges are extended to professional services offered or rendered, in person or by mail, telephone, or other electronic means, and does not require notice or other submissions to the Indiana Board.
Note: Indiana utilizes the NASBA list for substantially equivalent jurisdictions. However, if you are licensed in a two-tiered state or a state with more than one pathway to licensure, you should contact the Indiana Board directly to confirm your individual eligibility.

- To comply with Ind. Code § 25-2.1 and Title 872 of the Indiana Administrative Code;
