3. When you submit your application you may be required to submit some or all of the evaluation and examination fees. Because the rules vary by jurisdiction, follow the information provided to you by your Board of Accountancy or its agent when paying the fees associated with the examination. Be sure you follow the most recent instructions supplied by your board or its agent.

For jurisdiction-specific requirements, you must follow the direction of your Board of Accountancy.
