Rev. 1/11
OKLAHOMA ACCOUNTANCY BOARD (OAB)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECIPROCAL APPLICANTS
Pursuant to Section 10:15-21-1(b) of the Oklahoma Administrative Code: “An applicant shall file for
a reciprocal certificate or license within one hundred twenty (120) days of engaging in the practice
of public accounting in Oklahoma.”
Please refer to this information when completing the forms included with the reciprocal application packet.
All references to the “Act” refer to the Oklahoma Accountancy Act; the “Code” refers to the Oklahoma
Administrative Code.
Application for Reciprocal CPA Certificate or PA License
OAB FORM R008 - Required of all applicants
This form is to be completed with all information requested. Sections III and V require that you submit
additional documents which are not furnished as a part of the application, so you may wish to
review these sections of the application first. The application must be submitted to the OAB within 60
days of the date of your signature. If the application is received after 60 days, the application will be
returned unprocessed.
Authorization For Interstate Exchange of Examination and Licensure Information Form
OAB FORM E002 - Required of all applicants
This form must be completed by the original certifying state board and any state boards that have
issued you a reciprocal certificate/license and submitted with the reciprocal application form. The
Act and the Code base reciprocity on a valid certificate or license issued by examination from another
jurisdiction.
Interim Permit Application/CPE Reporting Form
OAB FORM R002 - Required of all applicants
Currently, all registrations of certificates and licenses lapse on July 31 on a biennial basis.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Act was changed to provide for an annual filing deadline based on your birth
month for registration, permit renewal, and CPE reporting. However, because the OAB will be converting
its database and online licensing functions to the new State Enterprise Licensing System for state
regulatory boards, the initial stage of the transition to birth month registration has been rescheduled to take
place during the 2012 June/July registration and reporting period.
If you keep the OAB advised of your current mailing address you will be notified by the OAB before the
registration of your professional credential expires. Address change notifications may be submitted by
letter, fax, or e-mail.
1
AICPA Professional Ethics Examination
Required of all applicants
You must provide evidence of successful completion of "Professional Ethics: The AICPA's Comprehensive
Course" or its equivalent as part of the requirement for certification [Section 15.9(F) of the Act].
Is there a specific ethics examination that must be taken?
The OAB will accept the AICPA's self-study course entitled "Professional Ethics: The AICPA's
Comprehensive Course." A substitute course may be acceptable to the OAB as well. OAB policy requires
that an equivalent ethics examination course be a minimum of 8 hours in length to be considered.
Sufficient information would need to be submitted to the OAB for it to determine at its next regularly
scheduled meeting whether the alternative course is equivalent in content to the AICPA course.
What determines "successful completion" of the ethics examination?
OAB policy establishes a minimum score of 90% for successful completion of the AICPA ethics
examination or its equivalent.
What if I took the AICPA's Ethics Examination several years ago? Do I have to take it again?
No, not for certification. However, if the ethics examination course is to be counted toward the CPE
required for the initial permit to practice public accounting, it must have been completed during the same
period as the remaining CPE reported to obtain the permit.
What is the process for meeting the ethics examination requirement?
Ordering "Professional Ethics: The AICPA's Comprehensive Course"
The course is available in either textbook or CD ROM format. Whichever format you choose, the course
is exactly the same.
You may order the course from the AICPA either online through www.cpa2biz.com or by telephone
(888/777-7077).
The course also may be available through your state's professional societies.
Cost
The cost is subject to change.
Grading
You must indicate when you submit your examination for grading that you are submitting it for
certification purposes for Oklahoma. If you indicate you are taking the examination for CPE
purposes, the course may not be accepted by the OAB.
Process and Expected Time Frame for Grading
To expedite the process considerably, it is recommended that you use the AICPA's Online Grading
System. If you pass the examination with a score of at least 90%, you will be sent by e-mail a PDF
2
file of your certificate of completion. The AICPA will also send you an electronic page that provides
your name, the date you completed the course, the course code, the course name, and your score
(see the sample below). It is important that you print this screen page and the certificate and attach
them to your permit to practice application.
What if I don't pass the ethics examination the first time I take it? Will I be allowed to re-take it?
Yes. You may take the examination using the online grading system up to three times. If you still have not
passed, you may continue to re-take the examination as many times as necessary, but you would not be
able to take it online.
Can I count the CPE credits for the Ethics Examination course toward the CPE requirements for my permit
to practice?
In order for the Ethics Examination course to count toward the CPE credit required for the permit, Section
10:15-32-2 of the Code provides that it must have been completed during the same period as the
remaining CPE reported to obtain the permit. All CPE reported for the initial permit must have been earned
either in the preceding calendar year or within the 365-day period immediately preceding the date of the
permit application. The CPE for the course cannot be split between two different compliance periods.
Permits To Practice Public Accounting
Required of Applicants Who Practice Public Accounting in Oklahoma or Come Into Oklahoma to
Serve Clients from Out of State
If you are practicing public accounting in Oklahoma or come into Oklahoma to serve clients from
out of state, you are required by law to hold a permit to practice public accounting, unless you are
entering the state under the substantial equivalency provisions of Section 15.12A of the Act. This
also includes certified staff accountants employed by public accounting firms.
If you are not practicing public accounting, you are not required to apply for a permit but you are
required to report CPE pursuant to Section 10:15-30-5 of the Code.
3
Although registration of certificates and licenses is currently on a biennial basis, all permits to practice
currently expire on June 30 following the issue date of the permit and they must be renewed
annually, prior to expiration, by registrants who are required by law to hold a valid permit. (See
Section 15.1A of the Act). As indicated above, registration and permit renewals and CPE reporting
is scheduled to be transitioned to birth month during the 2012 June/July registration and reporting
period. The initial stage of the transition will entail a proration of registration fees to allow for the
implementation of birth month reporting one the new licensing system is in place.
Application for Permit to Practice Public Accounting/CPE Reporting Form
To apply for an interim permit to practice, complete applicable section of the Interim Permit
Application/CPE Reporting form (OAB FORM R002) in accordance with the enclosed Guidelines For
Permits/Continuing Education.
Forty (40) hours of CPE are required to obtain an initial permit.
You must maintain CPE documentation that meets the standard in Code 10:15-32-6 for a period of five (5)
years to support the CPE you have earned in the event such documentation is requested by the Board.
Please contact Dana Reyna, Assistant CPE Coordinator, for assistance on the CPE requirements.
Background Checks
The OAB may obtain a background check as one method to verify good moral character and adherence to
the professional code of conduct.
General Information
You must complete and submit all applicable forms and fees to the OAB together. Fees may be paid with
one check. Please feel free to contact Linda Ruckman, Licensing Coordinator, for assistance at (405) 5213091.
