I passed the exam back in December. Before that I struggled with the score delays like many of you are right now. My state was refusing to provide me with an extension and I remember how frustrate I was with the process.
What I did was completely bypassed board of accountancy after getting the run around from multiple people in the office, including the executive director. I contacted the State Attorney General and filed a complaint against the State Board. I was then contacted by the Deputy AG who offered to step in and resolve the issue. The State board went back and adjusted their decision not only for me but all candidates. They gave a 9 month extension. I will not give away the exact details at what I said but I only had one test left to pass and the delay cause me to miss an opportunity to retest. You may also want to be prepared to show how it cause you financial and economic stress.
Cannot hurt to try in you state. If you want to get really technical you could point out the inconsistencies between states board decisions.
Good Luck!

Wow, thank you for this. The economic stress definitely is a good point – I will have to continue to pay for my Ninja course until I know I pass which could be an extra few months fees. I think we all need to uprise against the AICPA, NASBA, and our state boards

@Navigator ……Which State exactly did you get the Board to defer expiration for 9 months, for all candidates…?

@Navigator Would love to know the name of the State.

I was trying to be a vague as possible and not disclose that many details, Including exactly what I said and what state. I didn’t want to have to come on here and prove myself, just wanted to offer those who are struggling with this the route that I took. The extensions for this state were granted back in September 2017 so it wasn’t recently. If you do not believe me that is fine, some people may be able to figure it out based on the details that I have provided.
