NASBA has also published a dedicated resource titled “New Licensure Pathways” which tracks how various jurisdictions are redefining the education and experience requirements for CPA licensure.
Why this matters
The path to CPA licensure is evolving, and this new tool helps Colorado candidates, educators, and firms stay ahead of the changes. It provides real-time visibility into when new pathways take effect in different jurisdictions and what those updates mean in practice. Educators can use it to keep programs aligned with current requirements, firms can better understand how emerging experience and internship options may impact recruiting, and students can make more informed choices about their education and career paths.

Finally, NASBA has relaunched CPAMobility.org, an updated online tool to assist CPAs who want to practice across state lines.
Highlights include:
Why this matters
The accounting profession has always valued rigor, ethics, and trust. But as the profession modernizes, the systems supporting it must evolve as well. NASBA’s new tools reflect that shift—empowering candidates to manage their journey, clarifying evolving licensure rules, and supporting greater mobility for today’s CPAs.
