CPA Auditing and Attestation (AUD) exam requirements & cost

Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.

Eligibility
Set by each jurisdiction's Board of Accountancy (education, experience and residency rules differ by state); candidates apply to their board, then receive a Notice to Schedule from NASBA
Real exam cost
Varies by jurisdiction: application and administration fees plus an examination fee per section, set by the state board (extra administration fees apply for Guam and international testing centers)
Format
4-hour computer-based section · five testlets: 2 multiple-choice testlets (78 questions) + 3 task-based simulation testlets (7 simulations) · scored 0–99, pass at 75

Auditing and Attestation (AUD) is one of the three Core sections of the Uniform CPA Examination, which the AICPA develops and NASBA administers on behalf of the state Boards of Accountancy. The exam has four sections in total — three Core sections (AUD, Financial Accounting and Reporting, and Taxation and Regulation) and one Discipline section of your choosing — and you take them one section at a time. Eligibility is not set by the AICPA: the AICPA's own FAQ states that the boards determine the eligibility and licensure requirements for their jurisdiction's candidates, so education, experience and residency rules, the application process, the fees and how long passed-section credit stays valid all depend on the state or territory where you choose to be licensed. Once your board approves your application you receive a Notice to Schedule, and NASBA states you must schedule at least five days in advance (it recommends 45). Under continuous testing there is no waiting period to retake a failed section other than the time it takes to receive a score, re-register, obtain a new Notice to Schedule and find an available date.

Last verified: October 2026·Exam blueprint: The AICPA's Uniform CPA Examination Blueprints document for 2026 (effective January 2026) was read in full for the AUD section: four content areas with allocation ranges, section time, question counts per testlet and the 50/50 multiple-choice and task-based scoring weights. The scoring and pass-rate article, the FAQ and NASBA's exam FAQ were confirmed by direct reading on 2026-10-01. The AICPA has published the 2027 blueprints, which take effect January 1, 2027.·Primary source: AICPA & CIMA — Learn what to study for the CPA Exam (exam blueprints) ↗

Common questions

Eligibility is not set by the AICPA or NASBA. Each state or territory's Board of Accountancy sets the education, experience and residency requirements, so you apply to your own board; once approved you receive a Notice to Schedule from NASBA to book your section.
