    I wanted to to update my post from nearly a month ago. After a substantial amount of time and energy, blood, sweat and tears…ok maybe that’s a bit over dramatic, but I provided NASBA Licensing Services everything short of a blood sample and a first born (which I don’t have yet) to try and get them to reconsider accepting Statistics without a Business in front of course title as a business credit.

    They conceded that the course I took was in fact equivalent to Business Statistics. My Bulletin for my university specifically stated that the class I took was considered duplicate credit for a business statistics class. I suppose the point of my post is, hold on to documents you don’t think you will ever need again, because guess what, you might just.

    Secondly, if you believe in your heart that you are correct on something, stand up for yourself. I was rejected three times in the last 3 weeks and then today I received the wonderful news that I can and will soon be a licensed CPA in the state of Georgia.

    Happy New Year to all you future CPAs.

    First off congrats on getting your license! I was just wondering, but doesn't NASBA look at your education transcripts in your application for sit for the CPA exam to see whether you meet those requirements beforehand? How could you be eligible, sit for the exam, pass, and then they come back at you and say that you don't meet the education requirements?
