    Depends on the state, but North Carolina is the sit date.

    Bec-76 (7/14)
    Aud-81 (8/14)
    Reg-82 (7/15)
    Far- 82 (10/15)

    Moral of the story, don't do your CPA while working in Big 4 Public Accounting.

    As annoying as the 18 month clock is, they make it even worse because it's not consistent across jurisdictions. You'll have to ask your state board because different stats have the 18 month clock run out at different times. For example, in Ohio it's always on the last day of the third month of the quarter. But other states have the clock start the day you sat for the exam.

    As said before, it is different by state.

    Expiration date should be on NASBA's CPA Central in a day or 2 after the score release. It was usually communicated in the PDF got via e-mail with my score also.

    I sat in PA

    It seems to me from past discussions on this that expiration dates tend to vary slightly by jurisdiction; however, the clock should start on the date you took and passed the exam, no matter where you are testing through.

    CPApracticer – I found out last night that I passed FAR (my first section) and am also registered in NY.

    According to the NASBA CPA Central dashboard, it looks like it starts from the score release date 8/4/15, but it isn't due to expire until 3/31/17 (over 19 months from 8/4). I sure won't be complaining about that.

    FAR - 77
    REG - 83
    AUD - 87
    BEC - 83

    It is 18 months from when you passed your first exam. In your case, it would be 18 months from 7/11/2015, which is around 01/2017. This means you will need to pass all 4 sections by then. If you don't, you will need to retake whatever section you took that was more than 18 months ago.

    Just went on Nasba and it says my Reg eam will expire on 3/31/2017. I took the exam on 7/11/2015. That means it expires 18 months from the last day of the quarter in which you take your exam. NOT BAD!
