1) The member portal is where executive directors for the board of accountancy login.
2) Yes
3) There are no more links for old GW sites, the only link that ever went to a GW site for the candidates was the old MYSCORE@nasba.org where you accessed the score. Which is pretty much the same process. You start at CPA Central and either apply online there (for cpaes states) or you get redirected to GW for other things like paying the payment coupon, reprinting an NTS, everything else they listed and which is repeated through multiple posts here.
The new NASBA SSO Site is used for viewing your scores (for those states that allow NASBA to release them), pay for your payment coupons, pay the international testing fee, pay the Guam surcharge fee, and to access your NTS. First off, if you need to get an NTS, you have to create an account. The NTS's will no longer be mailed with a PDF. you will get an email that states you have an NTS available for download. Then you log onto your NASBA SSO site and print the NTS. Yes, the non-cpaes states have their own identifier number which they issued to the candidate and transmitted to us, if you cannot get that number from your board you would need to contact your NCD coordinator here to obtain that number. For the CPAES States, they require your JUR ID, which is listed on your CPA Central Account once you log in. Its on the top right hand side of the page, remove any leading zero's before using it to create your account on the NASBA SSO site. Some issues arise because they use different information than what is currently in their system. If you changed your email address with your state board or NASBA, but never applied for a new NTS after the change, then that “update” never made it to the gateway system, so your email address possibly are not matching up. The new thing about this NASBA SSO Site, is that it was always there… in spirit. Anytime you reprinted an NTS, or viewed your score you were being redirected to the GW system. There was just never a log in for it. Having this log in now puts the candidates in more control. CPA Central will still be used by all CPAES candidates to apply for the exam. The NASBA SSO Site has no drop down menu's so yea, if you are not seeing something in a drop menu, you are in the wrong place… candidate-portal.nasba.org is the website. Also, dont try logging in with your CPA Central credentials or do the “forgot password” thats a different login. Everyone will have to register in this new system. Other posts have had people mention not having the countdown clock, well, that has been removed it was always just a placebo, it never guaranteed when NASBA would release the scores because NASBA had to wait until the AICPA transmitted the scores before they could be posted and the countdown just went until the release day. Now, with the new GW system, “supposedly” you will get an email when your specific score is loaded, just like you do when your NTS is loaded. We shall see…
