CAS Expands E-Commerce Capabilities

The CAS Web Site has recently expanded its e-commerce options into two new areas: registering for exams and ordering publications.

Candidates may submit examination registrations online for CAS-administered Exams 5-9 beginning with the Fall 2002 session. An Electronic Signature Authorization Form (ESAF), available in the "Exams" section of the CAS Web Site, must be submitted before registering online. By signing the ESAF, the candidate agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations related to the examinations. It also provides a signature of record for comparison to the signature on the individual examination envelopes. Candidates should allow three weeks for processing and activation of their username and password before registering. (Candidates who intend to register online for Exams 6 or 9 need to submit their ESAF before August 29.) In addition, this username and password will allow access to other sections of the CAS Web Site, including the searchable membership directory.

Publications can now be ordered in the "Publications" section of the CAS Web Site using a new publications "shopping cart." The online shopping cart makes it easy to order examination study kits, the Proceedings on CD ROM, and other products by accepting orders and payments directly through the Web site. Orders can still be placed by mail or fax using the PDF order form located in the "Publications" section of the Web site.

These new offerings represent another step in CAS' commitment to improving its online services by expanding e-commerce.
