Hi all! I’m planning on retaking Audit on Feb. 26th, 2013, it is the last section I need to finally be done testing. However, my FAR expires two days later on Feb. 28th. I’m trying to figure out if this would set me up for any problems with FAR expiring. In other words, as long as I sit for (and pass) audit on the 26th, will that prevent FAR from expiring on the 28th?

I have looked through the AICPA’s and NASBA’s web sites, and searched the forums here but haven’t found any formal guidance. The closest I came was: https://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/when-does-my-score-count. I’m trying to find a link to something official, but corroborating evidence/your personal experiences would help too.

Thank you!

I took FAR 11/2, the day before Thanksgiving, and AUD expires 11/26. I called the LA State Board and they told me that it would be fine. The Director told me that if I had to take it on 11/26 and NASBA tried to take my AUD credit, the Board would extend my AUD credit 1 day. My advice is for you to contact your State Board.

@Kricket:

Sounds like good advice, I will take you up on it. Thanks for the reply!

I just called the CT state board and was told as long as the exam is taken up to the day before one expires you are fine.

I just spoke to someone at the MO State Board of Accountancy and this is indeed the case. Thanks all for your help, it looks like as long as I take the exam at least a day before a section expires, I will not lose credit for the expiring section ( provided I pass).

Thanks again!
