EVALUATION CAN NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS ARE RECEIVED BY POSTAL MAIL.

PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS
Each applicant’s academic credentials will be evaluated to assess whether his or her educational preparation, in the opinion of FACS, fulfills the education requirement to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination or become licensed in the state or jurisdiction to which the application is being made. The board of each state or other jurisdiction will consider the FACS evaluation as advisory and reserves the right to make final determination as to the eligibility of the applicant. FACS reviews only the academic experience of an applicant and does not provide advisory recommendations concerning the reciprocity of foreign earned professional qualifications and work experience.
E-mail confirmation of receipt of your evaluation request will be sent if a correct e-mail address is provided.
Any educational credential submitted after an evaluation has been completed will require a new evaluation and a new fee payment. Requests to change an evaluation from one board to another board (for example, Washington to Florida) will require a new fee payment for a new evaluation.
All information requested must be provided within a one-year period, at which time records will be discarded and the evaluation process will have to be initiated again.
FACS retains completed evaluation records for five (5) years from the year of evaluation
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
Applicants who have received the General Certificate of Education in Advanced Level subjects or who have passed the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination should submit official copies of these certificates or examination results that report their Advanced level subjects by title.
Applicants who have earned professional qualifications in accounting in another country should submit relevant supporting documents, including complete and official examination results and qualifications granted.
Official English language translations must accompany official copies of records that are in another language. Official records including diplomas, in the original language must be submitted with the English language translations.
FACS may request the applicant to provide additional or other records and/or to complete supplemental forms describing his or her educational preparation in order to formulate an accurate advisory evaluation. FACS will also, when necessary, contact an institution in another country or in the United States for further information about an applicant’s credentials including verification of authenticity.
In the event that FACS determines that the academic credentials submitted for evaluation have in any way been altered, tampered with, or forged, no evaluation will be prepared. All fees will be forfeited and appropriate notification will be issued.
