Wiley is pleased to announce the release of CPAexcel Version 7.9 (v7.9),
a complete and extensive update to the CPA Exam online study materials
in accordance with the new Clarified Auditing Standards established by
the American Institute of CPA’s (AICPA) for 2013 exams. These updates
apply to the CPA Exams starting July 1st, 2013.
Updates tothe Auditing Section (AUD) of the study materials were needed
since the AIPCA replaced virtually all the Statements on Auditing
Standards with its new Clarified Auditing Standards. This was done in
connection with the Auditing Standards Board's Clarity and Convergence
project - the first overhaul of the complete set of Auditing Standards
in 40 years.
While most of the clarified standards are consistent with existing GAAS,
there are areas of significant change. Two to focus on are the 7
principles of audit standard setting, which replace the 10 Criteria of
GAAS, and audit reporting topics. View a short video about the clarified
standards and how they will affect the Auditing section of the CPA Exam.
The v7.9 update to the Business Environment and Concepts Section (BEC)
includes content related to cloud-computing and mobile device security.
It will also include coverage of the recently updated (2013) COSO
integrated framework for internal control. The COSO content updates the
framework to emerging business and operating conditions, expands the
consideration of financial reporting in internal control, and increases
and enhances the focus on controls related to operations, compliance and
reporting.
In Regulation (REG), the Tax materials have been updated for the
American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. This Act includes important
changes that impact the individual federal income tax law, and the gift
tax and estate tax provisions.
