Exam launch date: January 2024
The CPA profession is always moving forward, adopting new technologies, skills and best practices. The job requirements of CPAs today are completely different from those of 10 years ago.
As the profession evolves, so are the skills necessary to be a CPA.
The AICPA and NASBA are adapting the CPA licensure model to recognize the evolving skills and competencies required of CPAs today and in the future.
2024 CPA Exam Evolution:
Core-Plus-Discipline Model
The new CPA licensure model requires CPA candidates to be skilled in accounting, auditing and tax. These sections will remain as core, required subjects. Technology questions will be spread throughout these sections.
