Alaska Accounting Requirements

First Time Candidates: Applications are screened within five to ten business days of receipt. If the application is complete, we will forward your Authorization to Test (ATT) to the National Candidate Database (NCD), which is operated by the National Association of State Board of Accountancy (NASBA).
Incomplete applications will not be processed and will be returned to the applicant. All requested information on the application must be provided. A common cause for an incomplete application is failure to provide your mother’s maiden name. This information is required by Prometric, the testing agency, for candidate identification purposes. Failing to provide your mother’s maiden name will result in the application being returned to you, causing a delay in processing and approval of your application.

First Time Candidates Applying for a Portion of Examination Sections: If, as a first time candidate, you did not apply for all exam sections, when you wish to test in the remaining exam sections, you must submit the “Application for Reexamination” and $25 examination processing fee.

Reexamination Candidates: If you have failed a section(s) of the exam you must apply to the Board of authority to “retake” the failed section(s) by submitting the “Application for Reexamination” and $25 retest fee. You may sit for each exam section only once during each testing window.

Regulation update for Uniform Reexamination Applicants
Effective November 18, 2006 fees will be increased for Reexamination applications.
12 AAC 02.340(10) has been amended to reflect the following fee increase.

  • One Section, $65.00
  • Two Sections, $80.00
  • Three Sections, $95.00
  • Four Sections, $110.00

Please note, any Reexamination application received after November 18, 2006 that does not reflect a revision date of November 18, 2006 will be considered incomplete. We will require the correct application and fees be submitted before the application will be processed.

Effective April 1, 2006 the simulations on the Uniform CPA Examination were upgraded. The new simulations will provide a more seamless and intuitive way for candidates to navigate through simulations. A new tutorial demonstrating the upgraded simulations is available at www.cpa-exam.org.

Anyone planning to take the CPA Examination in 2006 should review the revised exam tutorial and updated practice tests, which will be on the CPA Exam website at: www.cpa-exam.org.
