    Hello everyone,

    I’m eligible to write CPA exams in USA but my international work experience is invalid to get a CPA license as most of the states require work experience under US CPA. Can anyone advise- If I pass the exams, how long would my results be valid for if I don’t get a license immediately or in next few years? Thank you

    Depends on the state. It ranges from a few years to forever. I would say most states don't have an expiration, but states like Florida have a 3 year expiration.

    BEC - 82
    REG - 86
    FAR - 85
    AUD - 84 and I'm out!!!!!
    Ethics - 95

    Act III: Time Travel and marry a young Denise Richards (and prevent subsequent plastic surgery),return to present.
    Act IV: Serve as Successor to Elon Musk as CEO of Tesla.
    Act V: Ensure Judgment Day has been stopped. Utopia achieved.

    Yep – each state is different. Also, there are still a handful of two-tiered states out there. Look into the requirements in those states for getting a certificate – that way your scores won't expire and you can hold the certificate while you're meeting your education requirement for your license. You still can't say you're a CPA, but at least you won't have to worry about expired scores.
