Briefly describe the organization’s mission: Enhance the effectiveness of State Boards of Accountancy and promote their common interest in furtherance of their role as regulators protecting the public.

Did the organization cease conducting, or make significant changes in how it conducts, any program services? ..........................
If “Yes,” describe these changes on Schedule O.
4
Describe the exempt purpose achievements for each of the organization’s three largest program services by expenses.
Section 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations and section 4947(a)(1) trusts are required to report the amount of grants and allocations to others, the total expenses, and revenue, if any, for each program service reported.
4a (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 0 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
Fifty-five jurisdictional government Boards of Accountancy issue licenses to and serve as regulators of Certified Public Accountants. NASBA developed and operates a National Candidate Database which serves as the jurisdictional gateway for individuals to take the CPA Examination and become licensed. Approximately 309,000 CPA Examination sections were processed through the National Candidate Database during the past twelve months. Additional services are provided to thirty-two Boards of Accountancy under contracts for pre-Database requirements such as application processing, credential evaluation, and CPA Examination candidate interactions.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 0 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
NASBA provides a forum for State Boards of Accountancy to discuss issues common to their role as regulators (such as compliance, cross-border practice, education, enforcement, ethics, peer review, quality assurance, and licensing requirements) in order to protect the public interest related to public accounting practices. Five conferences were held and twenty-three committees met during the year to discuss these issues.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 0 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
CPAs must comply with statutory licensing requirements. NASBA maintains a registry of Certified Professional Education (CPE) sponsors. Members of the registry qualify as approved providers of CPE for purposes of meeting jurisdictional CPE licensing requirements.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 0 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
State Boards of Accountancy require that CPAs be licensed or remain in good standing. NASBA provides various services to assist Boards of Accountancy in this requirement. This includes application processing for licensure for some states, maintaining a database of licensees in participating states for verification of licensure or disiplinary proceedings, and providing online tools that assist CPAs and CPA firms in achieving compliance with jurisdicitonal licensure requirements related to continuing education.
4d Other program services. (Describe in Schedule O.)
