Taking the CPA Exam in 2020 has proved to be much more challenging than in the past. But don’t let delays, extensions, or coronavirus uncertainty throw you off your CPA course.

The AICPA and National Association of State Boards of Accountancy have been discussing a new CPA licensure model for the profession. The model retains most core subject requirements, but also adds a targeted discipline of the test takers choice in a specific area of the profession.

If you happen to be a Pennsylvania CPA who either fell short of your biennial education requirements, forgot to renew your license by Dec. 31, or got selected for an audit, we’ve got some helpful instructions on what you should do next.

State lawmakers across the country are removing barriers to a person’s right to work in numerous occupations and professions. Some have taken the path of outright elimination of state licensing.

Whatever the reason you decided to place your license on inactive status, it’s time to get your CPA license reactivated.
