Unclear whether a CPA candidate can simultaneously submit a verified report for profession review and a mentor review request, risking program expiry due to portal confusion and mentor delays.

The CPA PERT portal lacks clear guidance and workflow logic for concurrent report submissions, and mentors may cause delays, but existing solutions (like direct contact or support tickets) are not mentioned or implied to fail.
