In addition to the book’s numerous enhancements, NASBA is pleased to make the publication available during the first quarter of 2012, several months earlier than in previous years. The earlier release is due in part to NASBA’s use of new technologies, which make the process of tracking and tabulating the data more efficient. All of the data used to develop the reporting were generated from NASBA’s Gateway System, which houses the Uniform CPA Examination’s application and performance information for all 55 U.S. jurisdictions. NASBA first began gathering data on CPA Examination candidates in 1982 and has published reports on performance and selected characteristics since 1985. These improvement efforts represent a continuation of NASBA’s ongoing role as a reliable and trusted resource to the accounting profession. “During the past 9 months, we have worked closely with many subject matter experts, including accountancy boards, schools, review course providers and media outlets, to transform the Candidate Performance Book into a product that more closely meets the needs of its many users,”said James Suh, NASBA’s Director of Continuous Improvement & Analytics. “Although we are very happy with our initial work, we see this publication as a starting point in our mission to develop a comprehensive suite of products that will give the accounting community a view into the CPA examination that has never before been available.” Uniform CPA Examination: Candidate Performanceis published in a variety of formats, including traditional paperback and e-Book formats. The paperback version is available for $120 with the eBook version available for $100. Standard online reports and customized reports are also available by special request.
