CPA Evolution – What Aspiring CPAs Need to Know

*Exclusive AICPA Student Affiliate Member Event*

It’s never been a more exciting time to pursue the CPA license. The role of today’s CPA has evolved, and newly licensed CPAs are taking on new responsibilities that were traditionally assigned to more experienced staff. Becoming a CPA means you’ll need deeper skill sets, more competencies and a greater knowledge of emerging technologies. That’s why the CPA licensure model is changing.

A restructured version of the CPA Exam, aligned with the CPA Evolution initiative, will launch in 2024. This exclusive AICPA Student Member webcast is meant for anyone who plans to test during that time, even if you start the Exam process before the updated Exam launches.

What we’ll cover:

• The evolving role of CPAs
• Why CPA Evolution?
• What will change with CPA Evolution?
• How aspiring CPAs can start preparing now
• Robust audience Q&A
