I just passed my last exam and the Oregon Board of Accountancy requires that applicants submit a narrative of our experience related to several core competencies. I have a copy of another CPA’s narrative – can I use this to develop my own narrative? I realize this may be a totally ridiculous question, but I don’t want to waste time reinventing the wheel if I don’t need to. CPAs frequently use form letters and reports so it doesn’t seem completely unreasonable.

I’ve tried searching to see if anyone else has already asked this in several places and haven’t found anything other than that you have to complete the narrative.

I think you can certainly use another CPA's narrative competencies. That's what I plan to do.

I'm planning on using the details from my resume for my current job, but more in narrative form I guess.

Is this similar to what you have as reference?

@MSC626 @umair I'm starting work on the narratives now. How did yours turn out? Do you have any suggestions?

Hello, would anyone mind sharing a narrative so I can use as a template? There is so little guidance and I don't know where to start. It is such a pain. 🙁
