Zusammenfassung:The results are presented of a survey that looks at 500 recent 150-hour CPA exam candidates in five states that have implemented the requirement. The survey asked them how they met the 150-hour requirement and how satisfied they were with their college preparation for entry into the profession. Of the CPA exam candidates surveyed, 60% work in public accounting, 24% work in industry, and 16% work in government, nonprofit organizations, or "other" fields. Although the 150-hour education rules do not require a graduate degree, the survey showed that the graduate degree was the most popular curriculum path.
