ANNOUNCEMENT The Illinois Board of Examiners is announcing a change to the educational requirements for candidates preparing to sit for the Uniform CPA examinations. Research and Analysis in Accounting will no longer be a requirement beginning January 1, 2019 for all NEW credential evaluation applications received on or after this date. Any credential evaluation applications received prior to January 1, 2019, must include at least 2 semester hours of research and analysis in order to meet the educational requirements to sit for the Uniform CPA examination as an Illinois candidate. Research and analysis as a stand-alone accounting course will continue to count toward the mandatory 30 semester hour accounting requirement as well as toward satisfying the 150 total semester hour requirement. Any course integrated with research and analysis will count toward satisfying the 30 hour accounting requirement as well as the 150 semester hour requirement.
