SECTION 10:15-21-7. International reciprocity

  In addition to the requirements found in Rule 10:15-21-1, the Board may rely on the International Qualifications Appraisal Board for evaluation of foreign credential equivalency for a foreign reciprocal certificate. Such foreign applicant shall report any investigations undertaken, or sanctions imposed, by a foreign credentialing body against the applicant's foreign credential. Suspension or revocation of, or refusal to renew, the applicant's foreign accounting credential by the foreign credentialing body, or conviction of a felony or any crime involving dishonesty or fraud under the laws of a foreign country may be evidence of conduct reflecting adversely upon the foreign reciprocal certificate holder's fitness to retain the certificate and may be a basis for Board action. The Board shall notify the appropriate foreign credentialing authorities of any sanctions imposed against the foreign reciprocal certificate holder. The Board may participate in joint investigations with foreign credentialing bodies and rely on evidence supplied by such bodies in disciplinary hearings.
