A proposed CPA licensure model developed by NASBA and the AICPA is designed to help newly licensed CPAs learn the skills and competencies they will need in the modern workplace.
The draft licensure model – not yet finalized – would require CPA Exam candidates to develop strong core skills in addition to one of three disciplines: Tax compliance and planning, business reporting and analysis, or information systems and controls. Regardless of the candidate’s chosen discipline, the model leads to one CPA license with the same rights and privileges as any other CPA.
NASBA and the AICPA are still accepting feedback on the proposed model. Questions and comments can be emailed to Feedback@EvolutionofCPA.org.
