I’ve got a question for those that know the rules on the Louisiana experience requirement for licensing better than I do: Does the experience have to be directly under the supervision of a CPA? Or can the CPA be someone further up the chain of command, though still directly up the organizational chart? Thanks!

I found this on the State Board's website:

Experience is not required to sit for the CPA exam. But, you must have the necessary one (1) year of qualifying experience verified by a licensed CPA in order to obtain your CPA certificate (license). At least one year of experience must be confirmed by employers and verified by a licensed CPA who is in a position to know, that was within the four years preceding the date of the license application. The experience must involve the use of accounting, attest, management advisory, financial advisory, tax, or consulting skills. It must be of sufficient complexity and diversity, and be verified by a licensed CPA. The experience may be from employment in public practice, private industry, non-profit, or government and must be at least one year of full-time or 2,000 hours part-time experience, or a combination of these.

It sounds to me like the verification can be up the chain of command as long as the CPA knows what you did and how you did it.

My experience was signed off by someone up the chain of command, my immediate supervisor was the COO but the CFO signed off.
