The AICPA is accepting feedback and comments via email, but all feedback is due by November 30. The responses will be available publicly on the AICPA’s website and will be noted according to who submitted the response, whether state board of accountancy, state CPA society, regulator, firm, or individual.
The final adopted changes will be announced in Spring 2016.
As the ‘Examination’ component of the “Three Es” necessary to receive licensure as a CPA in all 55 jurisdictions, the Uniform CPA exam is integral in the foundational preparation of professional CPAs. The other components are ‘Education’ and ‘Experience’, with a fourth component (‘Ethics’) included in some jurisdictions.
