汇总（一）之 New (Candidate Bulletin-June 2012) for Uniform CPA Examination
Introduction：
Certified Public Accountant
The Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential is a license issued by one of the 55 states or territories of the United States that authorizes the holder to practice as a certified public accountant in that jurisdiction. Licensing of CPAs helps to protect the public interest because only those individuals who have met prescribed requirements are permitted to identify themselves to the public as certified public accountants. One component of the licensing requirement designed to ensure only qualified individuals become licensed as CPAs is the Uniform CPA Examination.
（1） 关于NTS
(a) Boards of accountancy will set a time period for which an NTS is valid (generally six months during which you must schedule and take the examination section(s),after which it will expire and all fees will be forfeited.
