About the CPA Examination
The Uniform CPA Examination assesses the knowledge and skills that entry-level CPAs need when they enter public accounting. A computer-based exam was introduced throughout the nation in April of 2004, allowing individuals to take one or more sections of the exam, in any order, on any day of the work week, at one of several testing centers.
IMPORTANT CPA EXAM NEWS
The new Uniform CPA exam, known as CBT-e (Computer Based Test - evolution) will go into effect on January 1, 2011. CBT-e is a result of several years of monitoring the performance of the computerized CPA Examination from the perspective of candidates and state boards of public accountancy. It will bring substantial changes, including the testing of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the introduction of new task-based simulations and the transfer of communication skill testing to one section - Business Environment and Concepts (BEC). In addition, the scoring timeline will be shortened.
International Candidates
CPA exam and licensure candidates who have completed any education outside the U.S. (excluding approved college semester abroad programs) must have their credentials evaluated by the Center for Educational Documentation.
