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.
