Virgin Islands CPA exam application process
To sit for the CPA exam as a first-time four-part candidate in the Virgin Islands, follow these steps. You will need: 1. Diploma from a four-year high school. 2. U.S. Citizenship required
If you meet the requirements, submit your application to the V.I. Board of Certified Public Accountancy. Contact the Board for an application form and related fee information. www.dlca.gov.vi/cparequirements.htm. Your name on the application should exactly match your name on your primary form of identification, which is usually your driver's license. At this time, you should also begin planning your study approach by making inquiries into CPA reviews available in your area. The Becker CPA Review offers classes live, online or self-study to accomodate the needs of all candidates.
Contact any educational institutions attended and request that transcripts be forwarded to the Virgin Islands Board of Certified Public Accountancy. If you do not expect any problems in processing your application it is best to make plans to start your review at this time. The Becker CPA Review will significantly increase your chances of passing the exam.
The State Board will notify the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) of the candidate's approval and NASBA will send the applicant a payment coupon for the exam fees. Once payment has been made, within a 90-day period, a Notice to Schedule (NTS) will be issed to the candidate indicating the exam sections the candidate is eligible to take and the deadline by which they may be taken. Candidates should only apply for the sections of the CPA exam that they will be prepared to take within the 90 day eligibility period.
Your NTS allows you to start scheduling your exams. You can sit for the exam parts in any sequence so you can plan your reviews to coincide with your exam scheduling. The most efficient approach is to sit for two parts in each exam window; however, exam fees paid for parts not taken are not refundable. Exam times are scheduled with Prometric and can be set up online at www.prometric.com/cpa . You can take the exam at any Prometric location that is convenient to you.
