Practice Analysis Confirmation Phase Screener

Thank you for your interest in the confirmation phase of the AICPA’s CPA Exam Practice Analysis. Eligible volunteers will play a critical role in validating proposed content to be included in a new CPA Exam Blueprint for the CPA Evolution-aligned CPA Exam launching in January 2024.

Volunteers will review content and related task statements that were developed with input and feedback received during the initial phases of the practice analysis research. Results of this research will help finalize a new draft Blueprint, which will be published in an Exposure Draft on July 1, 2022.

To participate, you must have supervised newly licensed CPAs within the last two years. Interested volunteers must answer this short eligibility survey by Friday October 29, 2021. If accepted, you will be asked to rate CPA Exam content for a Core and a related Discipline section, which should take less than two hours. This time commitment includes a short training session during which AICPA Examinations team staff and its research firm, American Institute for Research, will provide background information on CPA Evolution and the content review process, and answer volunteer questions. Volunteers may complete their assigned review on their own schedule but must finish no later than December 3, 2021.

Depending upon your background and experience, you will review and rate your agreement with content from one of the following CPA Exam section pairs:

Core section / Discipline section

Auditing and Attestation (AUD) / Information Systems and Controls (ISC)
Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) / Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR)
Taxation and Regulation (REG) / Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP)

For examples of Exam content, please review the current CPA Exam Blueprints.

Selected volunteers will be contacted in late October / early November about training sessions. Review work may begin by November 1. Multiple training sessions will be scheduled in November. Should you have questions about this volunteer opportunity, please contact the Examinations team.
