    I can’t find the answer to this. Searching only shows where the credit lapses while you’re in the middle of passing your four parts.

    Does anyone know how long your four completed parts last while you’re attempting to gain the experience peice?

    It depends on your State. California I believe is FOREVER, so worst case scenario move here! There was a similar post where someone said NY 10 years and Florida was 4 years. The answer should be in the Uniform CPA Exam Handbook or equivalent for your state.

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    "Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

    RE: California, from what I understand, we have 5 years to gain experience.

    In the handbook (link below; page 20) it says “This knowledge is demonstrated by completion of the Uniform CPA Exam and accounting experience within the past five years.”

    F - 47, 78! 🙂
    After 3 long years, I'm finally DONE!
    I could not have done it without NINJA MCQs.

    Call your state board and ask them. I couldn't find any information on my board's website.

    I thought the 5 year requirement applied just to the work experience part but now that I'm reading this sentence again, I'm not sure anymore. But I've never heard of anyone reminding people to get your experience asap because your exam results would expire in 5 years.

    FAR: 81 (May 2013)
    BEC: 81 (July 2013)
    REG: 83 (August 2013)
    AUD: 82 (November 2013)
    California CPA since 1/30/14

    @ liss_ will_be_a_CA_CPA I think what you found is for past experience that they will accept. Which totally messed up my plans as my public accounting experience is over five years ago. Oh well hopefully passing the exams will get me a job.

    Here is something I found https://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/publications/exambook.pdf on page 14:

    “Once you have passed all four parts of the CPA Exam during an 18 month period, you will receive notification from the CBA, including information regarding applying for California CPA license. Once you have passed the CPA Exam, your scores never expire.”

    It is my understanding that the test scores never expire in California and so when ever you acquire the required experience you can become certified.

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    @ liss_ will_be_a_CA_CPA I also found this on page 24

    https://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/publications/applbook.pdf

    Experience That is More Than Five Years Old

    If you are applying for licensure with experience obtained five (5) or more years prior to

    application you may be required to obtain 48 hours of continuing education and submit the

    Certificates of Completion to the CBA prior to licensure.

    I am assuming this means I can still get my license with my 6 year old public accounting experience!
