The “Proposed Content and Skill Specifications for the Uniform CPA Exam” (CSS) was approved by the AICPA Board of Examiners (BOE) in December 2008. A practice analysis (PA) survey conducted by the BOE ultimately established these specifications. Unfortunately, they represent a unique missed opportunity to describe the cognitive development required of entry-level CPAs. Individuals teaching CPA candidates accounted for only a small percentage of survey participants. The inclusion of more academics might have increased awareness of the need to define cognitive levels. In addition, the PA was not reconciled for any differences in emphasis between the responses and the CSS.
