Board discusses biannual newsletter and upcoming CPA exam fee changes
Summary
Board member proposed a biannual Connecticut State Board of Accountancy newsletter to distribute NASBA updates, CPA exam statistics and testing dates; members asked staff to forward fee and score updates after a presenter said a CPA exam fee increase takes effect Aug. 3.
Speaker 7 proposed issuing a Connecticut State Board of Accountancy newsletter twice a year (January and July) with items such as NASBA Eastern Regional Meeting updates, second-quarter CPA exam statistics nationally and for Connecticut, a CPA exam fee increase effective Aug. 3, testing and score-release dates, and DCP information on license renewals and firm permit requirements.
Board members asked staff to forward future exam-fee and score updates so members in public practice can share information with their firms. One member said Connecticut is historically among the more expensive states for exam fees; another asked for a short agenda item at meetings to note score releases and fee changes. Staff agreed to forward fee updates and include brief score/fee summaries in future meetings.
No formal policy change was adopted; the discussion was limited to the newsletter content and communication protocol. Staff will follow up by circulating fee and score updates and incorporating board feedback into the proposed newsletter template.
