The American Institute of CPAs announced the final details of the next version of the Uniform CPA Examination, set to debut on April 1, 2017. "We heard from the profession that the content we're testing is the right content, so there isn't a dramatic change in [that area],"said Richard Gallagher, director of exam content at the AICPA. "It's how we approach testing that content. So there's a shift going on into a more task-based approach than we've previously had on the exam. Those task-based questions seek to more closely emulate what new CPAs would encounter when they first show up on the job. It's going to be more problem-solving than in the past."
