Did you know that the PRC can release exam results earlier than the expected date?

It has previously been observed that the PRC, as an implementing and policy-making body, may not adhere to the schedule for releasing exam results. Based on Resolution No. 1589, CPA exam results will be released on October 10, 2023.

However, there have been a few occasions where the PRC has released the results early, like the October 2022 CPA exam results, which were released nine days earlier than expected.

In conclusion, the results of the September 2023 CPA exam will be available at any moment or closer to the expected date of results.

Successful examinees are advised to comply with Section 19, Article III of R.A. 11131, which mandates that they take their oath of profession in person before the Board or any of its members, and with the Accredited Professional Organization (APO) in an oath-taking ceremony specifically organized for this purpose. Only individuals who are members of the APO before practicing the profession may receive an oath from any legally authorized person after passing the exam.
