Does the AICPA even care?

    I am just so frustrated on the delay of the score releases by the AICPA, as I have so many people being like “have you got your scores yet?”. Do they even try to do anything to improve their score release process. It just seems like everything I have ever read on score releases from the AICPA regards “Quality Control, Quality Control, Quality Control”……

    I understand but this is ridiculous. The CPA Exam is not curved they say but then they need a good enough population to see how everyone did on a simulation, whatever…..

    I just don’t understand since I work in a public accounting firm. If we charged a client ridiculous fees, did not communicate well with our clients and was constantly late on our deliverables we would lose the client so fast……. But the AICPA has the luxury of being this monopoly in which they can be like “it is what it is”…..

    8/20 AUD: 90
    8/31 BEC: 82
    10/6 REG: 83
    10/25 FAR: 93

    The main problem I have is not the fee or the long wait.

    It's the lack of transparency.

    The AICPA should say: “We will release the scores on mm/dd/yyyy”. It could even be 3 months away, but at least we would all know.

    FAR - 7/26/10 - 95
    AUD - 8/10/10 - 88
    BEC - 8/31/10 - 88
    REG - 10/15/10 - 95

    The should give us an advisory score based on MC and Sims after completion of the test (same day). The final results should then included the WC.

    I agree with italianCPA. If we were given a date – even a very distant one – at least we would know exactly what kind of wait we were in for and make the whole process much less stressful.

    FAR - (7/13/10) 84
    AUD - (8/9/10) 88
    REG - (10/4/10) 85
    BEC - (11/8/10) 86

    I think they like us to complain.. and then they laugh at us.
