We are seeing major momentum in increased state participation and improved data integrity. Thank you for making this project a priority!

Maine is the newest state to obtain State Board approval to participate in both the ALD and CPAverify! Virginia and North Dakota are the most recent additions to states live on CPAverify. The total number of states live on ALD is 35 and 25 of those states are also live on CPAverify.org.

FL, GU, IN, ME, MS, OK, PA, and VT are actively working on initial or re-implementation. TN has committed to sending disciplinary and firm data. WA has committed to sending firm data and has revamped the license statuses that they send in for added clarity. VA is now committed to sending disciplinary data. AK has made a tweak to their hashing process to make it more effective. NC is now sending disciplinary data, as are NE and ID.

We are continuing to improve CPAverify.org by tweaking features and adding functionality where possible. We have recently edited the way Kansas’ two-tier data displays in order to clarify search results. In addition, NASBA is currently working to get the following committed states “CPAverify-ready”: IL, LA, MN, and OH. The total of states now committed to participating in CPAverify is 30.

NASBA recently hosted its bi-annual NASBA U for new EDs and Board Staff. Attendees included Pamela Ives Hill (MO) who welcomed the new folks; Toni Bright, Executive Officer in Iowa; Carol Preston, Executive Director in Alabama; and Stephanie Jones, Licensing Coordinator in Wyoming. As a result of the informative meeting on NASBA’s products and services, including ALD and CPAverify, Toni Bright is moving forward to provide disciplinary data for Iowa licensees and Pamela Ives Hill is working to include additional license statuses to make the search results for Missouri more precise. Thank you, ladies!
