Board Rule-Making Fees

Fees: On August 11, 2009, the Board awarded a contract to CPA Examination Services (CPAES) to administer the Uniform CPA Examination to Washington candidates.  The competitively bid contract with CPAES contains a higher fee schedule than that contained in existing rule WAC 4-25-530.  The Board’s legal counsel has previously opined that the Board should amend its fee schedule to conform to the CPAES contract.

Where may I find the rule amendment?

The Board filed Proposed Rule Making (CR-102) with the Code Reviser on October 16, 2009. The CR-102 will be available from the Washington State Register on November 04.

When will the Board conduct a rule making hearing?

The Board will hold a rule-making hearing on November 24, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. at:

Second Floor Conference Room
Evergreen Plaza Building
