okay newbie here. I am currently working on Ethics as I await my last section exam (hoping to have passed). After I pass Ethics and my last section (FAR), what do I have to do?
@taxman2012 and mmcgrad1, I just had my manager fill it out, and since they didn't give a lot of space, she just put an abbreviated job description, “Assistance in contract analysis, billing and revenue recognition activities as well as other tasks to help maintain operational efficiency in the division's finance department.”
I guess that does sound a bit vague, but I didn't think they would be so picky about that one little section. I think I am going to actually type out the specific duties and just have her sign it… hopefully that will be sufficient!
I just passed all four parts what makes me happy as never ;-)))). Im in Illinois to and I have hard time finding info about getting CPA License. I know that I have to wait for certification number from IBOE and then I can apply to IDFPR for licence but:
1) work experience section: what kind of experience do they look for?
2) Is this experience can be obtained prior to the application, while sitting for the exam or after all four parts of the exam has been passed????
3) who need to verified your one year experience? Is it true that experience must be verified and gained under another active CPA?
I have tried to call IBOE but its impossible to get somebody on the phone. Im thinking about visiting the office myself but maybe somebody will know how it works????
Update: Unfortunately it seems like IL isn't getting all that much better with time. I just got issued my license on 2/27/13 (yesterday) so it looks like it still took them over two months since I originally sent my application in on 12/9/12. In their defense, though, I did have to resubmit work verification due to sending a photocopy instead of the original; it only took them about a week after they received the originals to issue my license. Had I not had to do that, I would have been issued my license on 2/14/13.
F - PASSED (11/26/11)
A - PASSED (1/14/12)
B - PASSED (7/14/12)
R - PASSED (8/31/12)
Ethics Exam - 95 %
Just waiting to be able to put those three little letters behind my name...
Have anyone recently received their license from IL? I'm currently waiting for mine and was wondering if anyone is experiencing this frustration process. I sent in my application at the end of January and my check was cashed on 2/04/2013. It has well passed the 4-6 weeks time frame and i am yet to receive my license. I have tried calling almost everyday and I can't seem to ever get a hold of anyone. I am almost positive that no one works in this division. They said their office opens at 8:30 yet when i called at 8:35, all of their repesentatives were busy. I waited an hour and yet no one pick up the phone . At this point, if I have to hear that stupid holding music one more time, I promise i will have to climb out of a window (since jumping out of a window seems a bit dangerous).
Please tell me i'm not the only one experiencing this 🙁
