Listen Later

As the demands on modern CPAs change, so also does the CPA Exam. Updates in the design and focus of the CPA Exam have been in effect for about a year now, and two AICPA experts joined the Journal of Accountancy podcast to discuss the changes, address misconceptions, and offer reminders on best practices.

Any preparation for the CPA Exam should include a look at the CPA Exam Blueprints, according to Joe Maslott, CPA, director–Examinations.

Mike Decker, vice president–CPA Exam and Pipeline offers insights into the changes and reminds candidates that the CPA Exam should be respected but not feared.

·         Maslott’s review of why the CPA Exam was redesigned for the start of 2024.

·         Decker’s comments on misconceptions about the new exam.

·         The “relief valves” now offered for CPA candidates in exam timeframes.

·         Best practices and strategies for approaching the new sections of the exam.

·         Why pass rates are expected to rise.
