🧾 CPA — Certified Public Accountant (US Exam-Prep)

An independent, free exam-preparation course that walks through the publicly published AICPA CPA Exam Blueprints under the 2024 CPA Evolution model — the three Core sections (Auditing & Attestation, Financial Accounting & Reporting, and Taxation & Regulation) plus your choice of Discipline (BAR, ISC or TCP). It uses visual lessons, worked numeric examples, original self-check questions and a 45-question final exam to build exam-ready understanding of audit, financial accounting, business law, individual and entity taxation, governmental and not-for-profit accounting, analysis, IT controls and professional ethics. It is awareness/prep only — not the official AICPA review course or the licensing exam — and claims no AICPA or NASBA affiliation or endorsement. It maps to AICPA CPA Exam Blueprints (Core: AUD/FAR/REG + Discipline). The course is organized into 14 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 70%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.
