LCvista and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) have partnered to provide and manage AICPA self-study and CPExpress subscriptions for subscribing firms. AICPA provides self-study programs for accounting professionals.

WHAT TO KNOW

Program Delivery — You’ll reach out to your AICPA representative to send LCvista all relevant files and program information for your site, which LCvista uploads directly. The metadata includes qualification information for IRS only. Additional qualifications can be added directly to the programs by site administrators.

Staying Current — You’ll work with your AICPA representative to determine an update schedule. Your AICPA representative will provide LCvista with any updates and expirations that are relevant in that timeframe.

Managing Content — New programs are added to the AICPA or CPExpress catalog, which admins control access to using LCvista user groups. Programs can also be added to additional catalogs or learning plans. Expired programs need to be removed by admins and replaced in learning plans; LCvista's “Automatically Hide Inactive Content from Learner Catalogs” feature can be used as a tool to manage expired programs.

Self-Study Timelines — For self-study programs, users typically get a full year to complete once enrolled; in LCvista, you'll see this reflected as a session end date set 365 days out from the enrollment end date, unless AICPA specifies a different window for a given program.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What notifications will you receive regarding updates?

LCvista sends an email to clients confirming what updates were processed. LCvista also will sets up upload and expiration reports on the client site for firm admin to pull when needed.

Users receiving a “Status Code: 400 - The active license limit has been exceeded” message?

Subscription licensures are tied to the content package generated for your specific site. Once your subscription end date is passed, the content will no longer load. AICPA must send new content packages.

Are AICPA “For Licensure” Programs Supported?

No, AICPA’s licensure programs must be taken on AICPA’s platform to receive a certificate that meets all licensure requirements.
