DOES THE CPA CANDIDATE NEED SPECIAL TRAINING TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE SIMULATION SECTIONS OF THE CPA EXAM?
According to the official CPA exam website, CPA candidates are assumed to possess basic computer skills including the use of a mouse and keyboard. In addition they are expected to know how to use common spreadsheet and word processing functions, including writing formulae for spreadsheets. (Note, however, that the word processor and spreadsheet applications in the examination are NOT identical to Microsoft Word or Excel features). Candidates must also have the ability to use a four-function calculator or a spreadsheet to perform standard financial calculations. In addition, candidates will be asked to use authoritative literature, to answer auditing, accounting and taxation questions, to support judgments, and to create formal audit communications.
