NOTE: In order to avoid being assessed the increased third party fees, applicants are advised to take into consideration the Arkansas State Board of Public Accountancy’s application processing time frames. To insure you are charged under the current fee, applicants must have ALL the required documentation in the Board’s office by August 8, 2008.
Please be advised that there is no provision for withdrawing from the examination, refunding of fees, or the transfer of fees. The application-section fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable. The fees for the contract examination providers are nontransferable, but may be partially refunded if extreme hardship precludes the applicant from scheduling or taking the exam. Refer to Board Rule 3.8 for extreme hardship definition, time limits, and documentation requirements.
If you have any questions regarding the exam fee increases, please contact the Board’s office at (501) 682-1520.
