Helps Speed Up the CPA License and Firm Registration Process
Given the ever-changing regulatory environment, and the recent adoption of mobility legislation in most states, it is becoming increasingly difficult to remain up-to-date on the licensing and registration laws rules for individual CPAs and public accounting firms. As the representative of state boards, NASBA offers the Accountancy Licensing Library (ALL) as a central resource to simplify and explain the CPA license and firm registration process across all states for firms and their professionals.
ALL offers two main features – a research tool and state subscriptions. The ALL Research Tool allows users to quickly and easily compare state exam, licensing and other miscellaneous CPA requirements using various search criteria across multiple states with print and export options. State subscriptions are the highlight of ALL. Each state section has details about the various types of licenses and firm registrations available (initial, reciprocal, mobility/practice privilege and firm registration), full education, work experience and all other CPA licensing requirements, step-by-step instructions and application procedures and all official state board forms and applications offered in a convenient, fill-in PDF format. Basic CPE requirement information is also included for each state, as well as steps to properly relinquish a license. Subscribers even receive email alerts about changes to forms and application procedures.
Public accounting firms use ALL as a comprehensive solution to assist professionals with CPA licensing and firm registration. Some firms provide ALL as a resource for their licensing and compliance department for assisting and offering guidance to the firm’s professionals, while other firms make ALL available as a self-help resource for their professionals. Either way, ALL quickly becomes a reliable resource to busy professionals who value efficiency and accuracy. ALL alleviates the need to search multiple state board websites for updated information and forms, while ensuring accuracy through a rigorous maintenance process.
