Share Your Feedback on the New CPA Exam
Under the new CPA Evolution licensure model, the CPA Exam will feature a core and discipline structure based on input from CPA subject matter experts. Their insights guided the development of preliminary content for each of the core and discipline sections, which are designed to reflect the changing role of newly licensed CPAs.
 
Now it’s time to hear from you. We want our members’ voices to be heard, so we encourage you to review the draft core and discipline content and share your feedback in this brief survey by September 7. The survey should only take about 20-25 minutes to complete, but the results will impact the future of the CPA Exam and ultimately the profession overall.

Our next Business Skills Virtual Bootcamp session is Wednesday, August 18! Join Jennifer Elder, CSP, CPA, to learn the critical thinking tools and skills you need to enhance decision-making and establish the right mindset. Attendees will earn two CPE credits.
