We have great news as you enter the CPA exam journey! NASBA approved an amendment to the UAA, allowing state boards to extend the CPA Exam pass window from 18 months to up to 30 months, giving candidates up to an extra 12 months to pass all four parts once they pass their first section. This is independent from the one-time, 18-month extension for outstanding sections on Jan. 1, 2024. NASBA also redefined the start of the pass window to the date the scores are released and not the date the candidate sat for the CPA Exam. Both of these changes are advantageous to CPA candidates and will give them more time and flexibility to complete their journeys to becoming CPAs.
