Service aims to provide accounting professionals world-wide with a reputable experience verification option for CPA licensure

NASHVILLE, TENN., (APRIL 20, 2016) — The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) today announces the launch of a new service – CPA Experience Verification. This service was created in response to the accounting profession’s increasing need for a more coherent and standardized experience validation and verification process for international and domestic CPA licensure applicants.

Through this efficient experience verification process, applicants seeking licensure as certified public accountants (CPAs) in the United States will be paired with a NASBA client manager to guide them through the application process, followed by verification of work experience by DataFlow Group – a global provider of specialized Primary Source Verification (PSV) solutions – and an interview with a licensed CPA to further validate the applicant’s requisite experience and determine if the applicant is qualified for licensure.

To apply for the Experience Verification service, applicants must meet the following requirements:

  • Pass the Uniform CPA Examination, and
  • Meet the educational and experience requirements for licensure (as outlined by the specific U.S. Board of Accountancy)

At the completion of the application process, a final report will be sent to the specific Board of Accountancy for licensure consideration and approval.

Ken L. Bishop, President and CEO of NASBA, shared, "The launch of the Experience Verification service directly aligns with our mission of enhancing the effectiveness of the Boards of Accountancy. It is a much needed service for international and domestic CPA candidates."

NASBA’s Experience Verification service is currently available in the following U.S. Jurisdictions:
