If your firm has CPAs working across state lines, you may be breaking the rules without even knowing it. In this episode of The Accounting Podcast, Blake and David sit down with Lindsay Patterson, CPA CIA and Co-Founder of CPA QualityPro, to untangle the increasingly complicated world of CPA mobility. 

With alternative licensure pathways now in the mix, the rules governing where and how CPAs can practice have become a patchwork of 55 different rulebooks — and the consequences of getting it wrong range from fines to failed peer reviews to having to redo audits entirely. Lindsay breaks down exactly what data firms need to be tracking and where CPAs should be getting licensed to stay protected.

Whether you’re navigating licensure questions or just trying to stay current on the forces reshaping the profession, this episode has something for you.
