How Do You Pass The CPA Exam?
• Accountants beware! The AICPA has recently began collecting exam candadates fingerprints and is compiling a Global Fingerprint Database, which they have now admitted to sharing with the foreign data-broker Choicepoint. Accountants who prefer not to have their fingerprints trafficked on the global data markets are advised to wait to take the CPA exams until the AICPA/NASBA discontinue this practice. One strategy is to pass the CMA exam first; unlike the AICPA/NASBA, the Institute of Management Accountants refused (Prometric) ChoicePoint’s request to collect and supply them with fingerprints. See details at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Certified_Public_Accountant_Examination#AICPA_shares_examinee.27s_fingerprints_with_foreign_data_broker_Choicepoint • Plan to take the exam as soon as possible after completing your accounting classes and other requirements. If you wait a year or two, your studying will be more difficult because you will have to re-learn much of the material. •
