Rationale
The new CPA Examination spends more time (4½ hours) on Auditing than on any other topic. In addition, the Exam spends 1½ hours on Regulations (Securities and Exchange Commission; PCAOB). In order to perform well on the CPA Exam and to gain perspective on historic events leading to auditing as currently practiced, an auditing course at the Master’s level is needed.
