How a CPA Exam Question is Created

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how a multiple-choice question (MCQ), or item, is developed, from start to finish. Members of the AICPA Exams Team will pull back the curtain and share how we determine what content to include on the Exam, just how many people and subject-matter experts contribute to the development of an item, the careful wording considerations of each item, and more. Presenters will also be answering attendee questions throughout. If you have questions around this topic, feel free to submit them on the registration form below, and our presenters may address them during the live webcast. You may also submit a question during the actual webcast.

CPA Evolution: Reimagining CPA Licensure

If you haven’t already heard, the CPA Evolution initiative is transforming the CPA licensure model in recognition of the rapidly changing skills and competencies practice requires today and will require in the future. It is a joint effort of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). By way of CPA Evolution, the CPA licensure model is changing and ultimately the Uniform CPA Examination, but not until 2024. CPA licensure will follow a core + discipline model, in which every candidate would complete the same deep and strong core, but each candidate would choose a discipline in which to demonstrate further knowledge. Regardless of chosen discipline, every successful candidate will get the same CPA license. Aspiring CPAs who are currently college freshmen are expected to be among the first to take the overhauled version of the Uniform CPA Examination. To learn more about CPA Evolution, the changes to the CPA licensure model and how you may be affected, watch this webinar.
