Hi guys! I recently passed all my cpa exams and preparing to apply for the cpa license in the state of hawaii. I earned my credentials from a foreign school and in compliance w/ the requirement I had my credits evaluated (by an acceptable agency at that time)ybefore I took the exam and result by then showed that I earned about 200 credit hours, way more over the required to sit for the exam & hawaii license of 150 hours. Unfortunately, after I passed the exam, I received a letter from nasba that there were some changes made regarding the educational process for the Hawaii examination/license. That I was grandfathered in with the foreign evaluation company that had completed my foreign education for the Hawaii CPA Examination, but the Hawaii Board of Public Accountancy has now required only the NASBA Int’l Evaluation Services to confirm educational requirements portion for licensing as a CPA for Hawaii. Therefore, I applied for NIES evaluation. I just received the evaluation from them and it appeared that I only have 125 hours. That means now I didn’t meet the 150 credits.

Knowing this, what should I do now?

Should I contact our board of acc? Or do I wait them to call me? Or should I go ahead and enroll to get some credits?

I’m not sure what to do. Please advise.

Thanks,

Not to be rude, but why are you spamming this forum with the same question and hijacking other peoples' thread? It's just really annoying to see.

Contact your Board of Accountancy. They can give you state specific information.

It's ok you're understandably worried and people repeat their question in multiple threads, all the time. It's really not a big deal.

Why Hawaii? Personally I'd see if any other states will accept the evaluation you already had done. If nobody will, then go back for more credits but, shop around for states first.
