PRC has moved the scheduled May 2014 CPA board exam due to vacancies in the Board of Accountancy. There are currently 2 active members from the 7 member board. Since the board is short of a requirement to quorum to validly fulfill its duties and functions, that includes the formulation and making of the test, PRC passes a resolution to indefinitely postpone and reschedule the exam until the new members of the board have been duly appointed and qualified.
