Supporting the CPA Journey: How Educators and Students Benefit from ALL

The path to becoming a Certified Public Accountant can vary considerably by jurisdiction. Education, examination, experience, and application requirements are not always the same, making it challenging for educators to provide informed guidance and for students to identify the licensure pathway that best fits their qualifications.

NASBA’s Accountancy Licensing Library (ALL) brings this information together in one centralized digital resource. Covering all 55 U.S. jurisdictions, ALL provides access to CPA licensing requirements, application procedures, fillable state board forms, and tools that help users research and compare licensure pathways.

How Educators Benefit from ALL

ALL provides accounting faculty, department chairs and academic advisors with centralized access to education, examination, experience and licensing requirements. Colleges and universities may receive a complimentary subscription, allowing educators to:

Compare requirements across jurisdictions
Access application procedures and fillable state board forms
Receive alerts about board changes and updated procedures
Use the Research Tool to explore potential licensure pathways
Support accurate professional licensure disclosures

With ALL, educators can offer informed guidance without searching multiple state board websites. The resource also helps institutions maintain accurate professional licensure disclosures and advise students who may seek licensure or practice outside the state where they attend college.

How Students Can Navigate Their CPA Journey Using ALL

ALL helps students compare CPA requirements, identify jurisdictions that may align with their qualifications, and access the information needed to pursue the CPA Exam and licensure.

Students can choose from:

A three-month state subscription for $45, providing requirements, procedures and forms for one jurisdiction
A 24-hour Research Tool pass for $10, allowing comparisons across all 55 U.S. jurisdictions based on criteria such as education, residency, age and location

By bringing jurisdiction-specific information, official forms, research capabilities and procedural guidance together in one location. ALL makes the process more manageable and gives both educators and students a clearer, more efficient way to navigate the journey to CPA licensure.
