NASBA will host a Facebook Chat that will be geared around a specific topic, such as the CPA Examination, every month or so. The purpose of NASBA Facebook Chats is to provide CPA candidates answers to their CPA-related questions. Each chat will include one or more experts who will answer questions from Facebook Chat participants within the designated hour. This gives individuals a chance to receive answers to their questions quickly, with very limited wait time!
The Facebook Chat will only last one (1) hour. Individuals who do not receive an answer to their question may email their question to: [email protected]. Or, participants can wait until the Facebook Chat blog goes live, which will be the following week. Each Facebook Chat blog will repost all questions and answers that appeared in the Facebook Chat. If there were questions that the expert could not get to because of the limited timeframe, he or she will answer them on the blog.
How the Facebook Chat Works
The Facebook Chat will appear on the NASBA Facebook page as a post (with an image about the Facebook Chat) at the exact time the Chat is scheduled to start. Once the post appears, Chat participants may ask questions using the comment box (which is below the Chat image). The expert(s) will reply to the questions one-by-one, in order. At this time, NASBA Facebook Chats are not Facebook Live events or include video or audio of any kind. Please view past Facebook Chats on the NASBA Facebook page for examples of how the Chats work.
