I worked for a CPA firm for exactly one year and had to leave the job bcoz my visa expired, after the busy season I worked on only one assignment and the rest of the time I was mostly studying for the CPA and sometimes helped my seniors and managers in a few tasks. My question is would  I have problems with the one year experience requirement, what information do employers fill in the aplpication which they send it to the board to show the one year experience? Also would this cause any problems in my certification.

Thanks

goalcpa,

The answer to your question may vary depending on which state you are interested in.  Thus, I suggest you look at the information on your specific state board's website.  Some state boards even put the form used to document experience on their site.  State board websites can be found from the link below:
