The Evolving Role of Accountants, Through the Lens of the CPA Exam

March 29, 2021

Big changes are coming to the 100+-year-old CPA exam, a sign of the evolving role of accounting and finance teams everywhere. Jennifer Bukowski, the Sr. Technical Manager for Test Development at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) joins us to discuss the upcoming changes to the exam (5:40), how technology impacted those changes (8:41) and how all of this has shaped the CPA Evolution Project, which will come to fruition in 2024 and is focused on transforming the CPA licensure model to recognize the new skills and competencies required of today’s accountants (13:29). Then, we’ll bring on NetSuite Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Scott Beaver, to explain how the events of the past year have furthered the evolution of accounting and finance teams (20:31), how these teams have a bigger impact on decision-making than ever before (28:04) and how NetSuite plays a role in navigating all of this (29:27).
