State Board Report

September

The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy is extending the examination eligibility date of candidates through October 31, 2017 for those who were scheduled to take a section of the Uniform CPA Examination and were unable to test due to the closure of a Prometric test center or were displaced by the hurricane and subsequent flooding.

Hurricane season has Prometric encouraging candidates to check www.prometric.com for a list of test centers that are currently or will be non-operational and unable to deliver examinations. Candidates are being advised they will be contacted via e-mail within 24 hours of the test center’s closure. With the approach of more hurricanes, 15 testing centers in Florida posted their closings, many a few days in advance and nine out as far as five days in advance.

“Hurricane season is always a challenge for the NASBA Exam Team, but this year is shaping up to be one of the worst. That combined with score delays and credit extensions ensures the Exam Team is hard at work,” Patricia Hartman, NASBA Director of Client Services, said.
