Initial applications must be completed by applicants who have never applied to
take the Uniform CPA Examination in Arizona. The cost to apply is $100 which is
payable to the Arizona State Board of Accountancy. To learn more about the
process, please visit the following FAQ – What are the steps in the application
process?
Helpful Hints - DO NOT include fees payable to NASBA for each exam section.
NASBA will send a payment coupon to you for the exam section fee(s) after
issuance of the Authorization to Test (ATT) by the Board.
Helpful Hints – Candidates who have applied to sit for the Uniform CPA
Examination in another jurisdiction can continue to reapply through that
jurisdiction to complete the exam even though they have relocated to Arizona
because they can sit at any Prometric testing center.

Cancellation Form

After the Arizona Board of Accountancy (Board) has approved your Initial
Application which qualifies you to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam or after
you have submitted a Re-exam Application, Board staff submits an Authorization
to Test (ATT) to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA)
letting NASBA know what sections of the examination you are eligible to take.
ATT has not been sent to NASBA |
ATT has been sent to NASBA |
If the Board receives a cancellation request for a section of the examination
BEFORE Board staff has submitted the ATT to NASBA, you will not be impacted as
the ATT will be amended accordingly and NASBA will send you a payment coupon and
a Notice to Schedule for the amended sections of the examination. |
If the Board receives a cancellation request for a section of the examination
AFTER Board staff has submitted the ATT to NASBA, you will forfeit
your Initial or Re-Exam application fee paid directly to the Board.
If you have already paid your “payment coupon” to NASBA you will also forfeit your
examination fees paid to NASBA. If you have not paid your “payment coupon” DO NOT
pay it. After 90 days, your payment coupon will simply expire.
Once you are ready, you can submit a Re-exam application to the Board for the section(s)
of the examination you want to take. It is strongly suggested that you not apply for a
section of the examination until you are ready to take it or believe that you are able
to take it during the six-month time-period for which the Notice to Schedule (NTS) is valid.
