I am an candidate in New York and I passed FAR in January ’14, and it expires 9/30/15. I have subsequently passed BEC and AUD, and failed REG twice. I’m taking REG again on 7/1, as this is my last shot at it before FAR expires.

Also, I have over 150 credits, but I think I still may need another accounting course or 2 to satisfy the requirements. I have the one year experience working under a CPA requirement already completed.

Does anyone know what happens to my FAR credit if I pass this upcoming REG exam and don’t apply for licensure before 9/30?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

So do you suggest I take an online course or 2 this summer to satisfy the credits requirement

If you pass REG before FAR expires it means you are done with the CPA exam in NY. Licensure is a separate issue, so I don't know why golfball7773 provided incorrect info. If you pass all parts within the deadline you will receive a congratulatory letter informing you about successfully completing the exam and the steps to gain your license. How do I know this? I've passed my exam 5 years ago and still havent been license because under my pass job I wasn;t working under a CPA. Also, email the state, they are very good at responding to candidate's concerns.

thanks @bullandre

I was pretty sure that was the case, but had a minor freakout after golfballs response!!

^ I must of read wrong – if you pass all parts by the time then yes you will keep your FAR. I read will I loose FAR if i don't pass by the expiration date…..#fail and Licensure is different from Testing as bull said – Sorry!

I guess another reason to RTMFQ

I passed all four exams and have met the requirements but I don't have any work experience, those scores will never expire even though I don't have a job right?
