Profession License Examinations

Before applying for the Uniform CPA Examination through CPA Examination Services (CPAES), please familiarize yourself with this jurisdiction’s educational requirements to determine if you are eligible to apply as a first-time candidate. You are also advised to read The Candidate Bulletin before submitting applications online. You are able to apply for one or more sections of the examination at a time; however, you are advised to only apply for a section of the examination if you are ready to take it within the next six months.

Kansas is one of the few remaining two-tier states when it comes to granting certification and practice privileges to Certified Public Accountants in the state. The Kansas Board of Accountancy’s two-tier process means that after passing the Uniform CPA Exam, you are eligible to apply for a certificate but are not yet eligible to offer your services as a CPA. To qualify to represent yourself as a CPA, you must complete experience requirements, then apply for a Permit to Practice.
