The CPA Exam is changing in 2011

Major changes are taking place to the CPA Exam on January 1, 2011. These changes are not only significant and numerous, they are all scheduled to go into effect at once. They include:

  • New Content and Skill Specifications (CSOs/SSOs), including International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
  • New question formats, including short task-based simulations
  • New research functionality that includes the FASB Codification
  • New exam structure and section time allocations
  • Changes in the percentage value of examination components

If your organization has candidates that plan to sit for any parts of the exam in 2010, Becker Professional Education strongly recommends they schedule all four parts before the exam changes take effect in January 2011.  Why?

  • Their academic studies may not have covered all of the new exam’s content, including IFRS and codification.
  • There will be no grandfathering from 2010 to 2011, so splitting the parts between transition years compounds their preparation workload.
  • Becoming familiar with a new exam environment—content, structure, and timing—can intensify the stress inherent in exam preparation.
