Groundbreaking AICPA Report Signals Major Shift: The Future of CPA Licensing

In a surprising move, the National Pipeline Advisory Group, a joint effort by the AICPA, NASBA, and top accounting firms, released a draft report that takes dead aim at the 150-hour education requirement for CPA licensure. We dig into the report in this clip from Episode 385.

A survey in the report says a staggering 69% of CPAs surveyed said the education requirement should change.

The report lays out a vision for a competency-based approach to CPA licensing rather than one based on hours. But that's not all - the report addresses 6 key areas contributing to the severe shortage of accounting graduates and CPAs, with detailed recommendations for each.
