International Qualification Examination - Administration

Administration

The administration of the IQEX exam is similar to that for the Uniform CPA Exam, with a few key differences:

• Application is made directly to NASBA, not to a state board of accountancy
• The exam can be sat at Prometric test centers outside the United States (although Canada is the only other country in which the exam is normally offered)
• Instead of being available all year round, IQEX is only offered for three weeks in October or November each year.
• Results are sent directly to the candidate by NASBA (normally in February, following the exam in November)

The fee to sit IQEX is USD845 as a first time candidate, and USD795 as a re-examination candidate. Australian CPAs required to sit the AUD section of the Uniform CPA Exam must pay USD1,030 as a first time candidate, and USD795 for re-examination. Should AUD be applied for on its own the fee is USD185.
