I have a question about sitting for the CPA. I have been out of school for over 10 years and a CPA recently told me that my credits will no longer count towards the requirements to sit. Is this true? I live in Illinois if that matters. Thanks!

What state are you in? Have you reviewed your state board’s exam and licensing requirements on their website?

it depends on the coursework you took. it has nothing to do with a timeline. meaning out of school 1 year or 10 years can still sit if you took the required courses

yea, none of that sounds right to me lol
i would check your source materials, vs what some guy told you

You've so far taken the advice and some guy and some peoples on an anonymous internet forum.

I was out of school a lot longer than a decade and the only issue I had was 15 hours I took my first semester when the university I attended was apparently having accreditation issues.
