Indiana Requirements Overview:
Indiana's (IN) CPA exam requirements are very specific relating to accounting and business courses that are required to be taken prior to sitting for the exam. As you are required to obtain 150 credit hours you need to ensure that you have taken the proper mix of classes.
Follow each caption below to ensure that you are qualified to sit for the exam.
Disclosure: Please note that I do my best to keep these requirements up to date but seeing as there are more than 50 states and nations with individual requirements it is difficult for me to keep up with them all. Please verify each requirement with your state board of accountancy to ensure 100% accuracy!
