May 18, 2020:  UPDATED: OAB Grants Extensions in Response to Prometric Test Center Closures

Governor J. Kevin Stitt has issued Executive Order 2020-07, which states:

All occupational licenses issued by any agency, board, or commission of the State of Oklahoma that expire during this emergency shall be extended so long as this Order is in effect. All occupational licenses extended during this Order will expire fourteen (14) days following the withdrawal or termination of this Order.

The OAB will continue to conduct normal business operations and process all license renewals and permit applications that are submitted. 

IMPORTANT DELIVERY INFORMATION:

In the interest of public health/safety, building management has locked the building to restrict public access until the “Safer at Home” policy is lifted by state authorities.

2020 Continuing Professional Education (CPE):

The Oklahoma Accountancy Board (OAB) has not approved any deferments or extensions for continuing professional education (CPE) this year.  Registrants have until December 31, 2020, to complete CPE hours for calendar year 2020.

As a reminder, the OAB does not have a limit on online self-study learning activities (self-paced), however, these types of courses must be offered through a NASBA-registered provider, or taken through the Oklahoma Society of CPAs or the American Institute of CPAs.   Furthermore, many providers have moved to a virtual delivery method, including webinars and webcasts. Because these types of activities include a “live” element, these provider are not required to be registered with NASBA.

As always  we will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to our registrants if there are changes to this plan.
