My BEC score is expiring on 06/30/2017. I am sitting for AUD on 04/08/2017. Since the scores will not be released until August 2017, should I expect to have to re-sit for BEC as well? Thank you! I apologize if this has been asked and answered before, I was unable to find a clear answer.

As long as you sit for your last passed exam before your score expires it doesn't matter when you get the score. So if you pass AUD on April 8 you will not have to retake BEC. Don't be alarmed if your BEC status changed to expired on June 30, it likely will. But will be reinstated with the score release for your AUD exam.

Directly from AICPA website:

Q. What if the score release hold impacts my ability to complete the Examination within 18 months?

A. There is no need to contact your state board of accountancy. The AICPA, NASBA, and state boards are aware that some candidates testing in the Q2 2017 launch window will be impacted by the 10-week score reporting hold. With Q2 2017 scores scheduled for release by August 18, candidates may be unable to retake a failed section in Q3 2017.

NASBA's National Candidate Database is designed to prohibit expiration of conditional credits until advisory scores are received if candidates take the Examination prior to the date of their score expiration. In June and July, NASBA will notify state boards of all candidates testing in Q2 2017 with existing conditional credit who will be impacted by the score hold. The state boards will consider extending a candidate's conditional credit. Extensions of credit are handled on an individual case-by-case basis. State boards will notify candidates if an extension is granted.
