Prometric sends your exam data file to the AICPA for scoring. Once the AICPA has completed the scoring process, the results are forwarded to NASBA. NASBA is responsible for releasing the scores to candidates and state boards. This process ensures proper handling and quality control at each step before the scores are made available.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cpa-exam-sections-breakdown\"><strong>CPA Exam Sections Breakdown<\/strong><\/h2> <p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/cpa-exam\/\">CPA exam consists<\/a> of three essential core sections that every candidate must complete, along with one optional discipline section tailored to specific career paths. This structure, introduced under the CPA Evolution initiative, balances foundational knowledge with specialized expertise.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-core-sections\"><strong>Core Sections<\/strong><\/h3> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Auditing and Attestation (AUD):<\/strong> This section integrates modern technology into audit procedures and includes scenarios focused on ethics and decision-making in audit practices.<\/li> <li><strong>Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR):<\/strong> FAR focuses on developing a deep understanding of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) alongside International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), highlighting the increasingly global scope of financial reporting practices.<\/li> <li><strong>Regulation (REG):<\/strong> REG explores current tax regulations alongside professional responsibilities and ethical standards, preparing candidates for real-world regulatory challenges.<\/li> <\/ul> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discipline-sections-choose-one\"><strong>Discipline Sections (Choose One)<\/strong><\/h3> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP):<\/strong> This option emphasizes strategic tax planning and includes practical, scenario-based problems to build applicable skills.<\/li> <li><strong>Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR):<\/strong> Designed for those focused on advanced financial reporting and analysis, BAR incorporates data analytics and technology tools to tackle complex business challenges.<\/li> <li><strong>Information Systems and Controls (ISC):<\/strong> ISC addresses critical topics like cybersecurity, IT system management, and data privacy, ensuring candidates are prepared for the technological demands of modern accounting roles.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>With core sections now available year-round through continuous testing, candidates have more flexibility to set up a strategic testing timeline.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-expect-from-the-new-cpa-exam\"><strong>What to Expect from the New CPA Exam<\/strong><\/h2> <p>The CPA Evolution introduced a significant shift, offering specialized discipline sections that align with distinct career paths. Choosing a section like Business Analysis and Reporting (BAR) gives candidates focused testing on advanced financial skills, while Information Systems and Controls (ISC) covers cybersecurity and IT risk, crucial for roles interacting with tech systems. Core sections are available year-round with continuous testing, providing greater flexibility for CPA candidates to work around personal and professional commitments.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cpa-exam-deadlines-to-watch\"><strong>CPA Exam Deadlines to Watch<\/strong><\/h2> <p>It\u2019s crucial to stay on top of registration deadlines from your state boards to avoid missing out on your preferred test dates. Each state may have its own registration timelines, and meeting these deadlines will help ensure you receive scores on time. Also, be mindful of the 18 to 30-month expiration date on passed sections, which is key to maintaining your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/how-is-the-cpa-exam-scored\/\">CPA exam scoring<\/a> momentum.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2> <p>Successfully navigating the CPA exam process requires more than just dedication\u2014it demands careful planning and a clear understanding of the exam schedule and score release dates.
