Complete Details of CPA

SUBJECTS

The Uniform CPA Examination consists of four sections:
1. Auditing and Attestation (AUD),
2. Business Environment and Concepts (BEC),
3. Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and
4. Regulation (REG).

Sections are made up of testlets (groups of up to 30 multiple-choice questions) and simulations (case studies).

Candidates are expected to possess basic computer skills, including familiarity with the use of a mouse and keyboard.


SIMULATIONS

Simulations are condensed case studies developed to test candidates' accounting knowledge and skills, using real-life work situations. All simulations assess knowledge and skills at a level appropriate for entry-level CPAs.

Some simulations will include an online search as a required task. You will receive access to the appropriate accounting literature database during the exam

The sample tests will familiarize CPA exam candidates with the format, content, and functionalities of the CPA examination. Sample test software lets candidates download and answer a sample set of multiple-choice questions and a simulation.
