generic-calendar

The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) released the specific dates for applying and testing for the BEC section on April 14, 2023, for both candidates in the 35 jurisdictions whose applications are processed by the CPA Examination Services (CPAES) and international candidates using NASBA’s International Evaluation Services (NIES). (International applicants applying for the first time with NIES must complete an international evaluation report by August 4, 2023.)

For the remaining jurisdictions that don’t use CPAES, NASBA has subsequently announced application deadlines for the BEC section. All application deadlines for the BEC section as well as the first day for applicants to apply for the new Discipline sections are included in the table below:
