REGISTER NOW The American Institute of CPAs and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy debuted their CPA Evolution Model Curriculum on Tuesday during a free online launch event. Representing a joint effort from the AICPA and NASBA, the CPA Evolution model aims to better prepare CPAs with the ever-changing skills and competencies required from modern professionals. The curriculum was developed by the CPA Evolution Model Curriculum Task Forces, consisting of more than 40 volunteers across all facets of the accounting profession. The new competencies will be reflected in the 2024 Uniform CPA Exam. “A skill set that includes a deep understanding of new and emerging technologies is essential for CPAs entering the profession," said Sue Coffey, CEO of public accounting at the American Institute of CPAs, in a statement. "We heard from accounting faculty that they want insight into how to begin transitioning their programs to teach these skills and better prepare students for the coming Core + Disciplines CPA Exam structure. We’re excited to share the work of our task forces and help faculty prepare a strong pipeline of future CPAs who will continue to meet the changing needs of U.S. capital markets.”
