A potential candidate should review all exam requirements by the West Virginia Board of Accountancy before making application to sit for the CPA Examination. 

The application for examination consists of the following eight main parts which must be completed:

1. General Background Information
2. Education Information
3. Two character witness
4. CPA or PA character witness
5. Non-disclosure agreement
6. Request for modification of the CPA examination (in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990)
7. Notarized signature affirming the information supplied on application

Applicants are required to order valid college and/or university transcripts (not copies) signed by school officials from all colleges and universities attended. Transcripts must have an official raised seal. The transcripts should be sent directly to the West Virginia Board of Accountancy office at:

West Virginia Board of Accountancy
106 Capitol Street, Suite 100
Charleston, WV 25301

A transcript is required from every college/university attended even though the transcript from the institution conferring the degree may show all transferred credits.

Applications cannot be accepted until the college transcripts have been received. Call or e-mail (jkbrown@verizon.net) the Board office for verification of transcript receipt before mailing the application.

The Board also requires the applicant to supply one color passport style photos with the application. The candidate should indicate their name, social security number and date on the back of each photo. The photos should be paper-clipped to the application. Do not tape or staple.
