CPA Preview Clinics-An Opportunity for Accounting Educators.
Abstract This article presents information on accounting education in the U.S. Accounting is not a process that is concerned exclusively with passing the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) examination. Yet, many professors understandably take great interest in their students' success with the exam. Avoiding the old argument of accounting education versus CPA examination preparation, the paper reviews "CPA examination preview clinics," programs through which accounting educators can help CPA candidates without "teaching the exam" in their classes. At the same time, participation in CPA preview clinics is another small way of bringing accounting practitioners and educators together. The purpose of the paper is to outline what is being done by the various state societies of CPA to aid candidates in their preparation for the Uniform CPA Examination and, hopefully, to encourage college and university accounting instructors to take part in programs sponsored in their areas. Passing the CPA examination is not an easy task. The need that candidates have for guidance and instruction in preparing for the CPA examination is being met in an organized manner in a few states through the "CPA preview clinic."
