CPA Professional Program 2027

CPA Professional Program 2027

The CPA profession in Canada is updating the CPA certification program to align with Competency Map 2.0 from 2027. This includes refreshing the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP), its exams, and the practical experience requirements.

Candidates currently enrolled in CPA PEP will have an opportunity to finish the program; however, there is a transition path to the CPA Professional Program for those who are unable to complete their current program. For existing and new students this is very much essential to know in details about its impact on their study.

Comparison of change in program will be as follow.

 

6 CPA PEP modules: Core 1, Core2, Elective 1, Elective 2, Capstone 1, Capstone 2 4 modules: Foundational Development, CPA Core, CPA Leadership, CPA Professional Readiness
Module exams: After Core1, Core 2, Elective 1, Elective 2 Module exam: After Foundational Development module (Each module has additional assessments within it that must be passed to reach the associated exam.)
Certification exam: 3-day CFE following the final module Certification exam: 3 CPA Professional Final Exams, available to write after CPA Core, CPA Leadership, and CPA Professional Readiness
Practical experience: A minimum of 30 months of qualifying practical experience, inclusive of up to 5 months away from work, with demonstrated competency. Option of a pre-approved program or experience verification route. Experience can be completed at any time within the allocated program time limit. Practical experience: A minimum of 24 months of qualifying practical experience, excluding time away from work, with demonstrated competency. All learners complete an experience plan, submitted in advance, to outline how their experience will meet the requirements. Experience must be met before eligibility into the CPA Professional Readiness module.

 

Therefore, it is advisable for existing students to pass out their modules at the earliest possible or at first attempt so that they have not to transit to the new program.

Last PREP program will end on OCT-Dec 2026

Last Core 1 will be in Jan-Mar 2027

Last CFE will be in Sept 2028

 It is therefore necessary for existing students to take help of experience tutor for coaching to get through at first attempt. For any help please email me at pcdesai1454@gmail.com or send me message at 6475056648. See my website www.cpafinal.com or www.beyond.coach

Online Coaching to pass Online CPA Core 1 and Core 2 fall exam 2025 Canada

Online Coaching to pass Online CPA Core 1 and Core 2 fall exam 2025 Canada

It is again now for students to well prepare for Core 1 & Core 2 exam scheduled during fall 2025. I observed that many students lack confidence in passing these exams. One of the reasons for failure is students remain remarkably busy with jobs, family and submission of assignments. They also lack technical knowledge of various course area covered. Strong technical knowledge is the key to success in these exams.

I have seen many students could not get success in the exam on account of time constraint. They took more time in solving MCQ and as such could not allot enough time for the case analysis. This indicates lac of practice and poor technical knowledge.

I provide following very successful strategy to pass these exams:

  • Right from today, review your technical stuff of related course area along with your assignment work. Financial Accounting and Management Accounting are the two major courses in both Core 1 and Core 2 respectively. Allot more time on it. Learn the correct format of writing case analysis. Ensure that you read, understand, and prepare the outline for the case in 20 to 25 minutes. I have seen students normally are taking more time in the same and then lack confidence in writing the case effectively. Do the practices till you cannot achieve this.
  • Those who could not get success should consult experiences tutor for guidance and training. Repeated failure will increase frustration, and you have only 3 attempts to get through. Those who have challenge exam, can also approach experienced tutor for guidance and training.
  • Failure in either MCQ or Case analysis is mainly due to lack of technical knowledge and lack of practice and techniques to solve the MCQ and or understanding and analysis of major issues in the case.

Students, who lack confidence in passing the course area, repeat writers, challenge exam students can take my lectures online. Exclusive study guide is available for both Core 1 & Core 2 for 2025 exam at a cost of $ 185 plus 5 % tax for Core1 and $175 for Core 2 (delivery free). Book contains all related technical concepts, enough selected MCQ and five cases with solution.

Strategies and Tips to pass CPA CFE Day 1 2025 exam/ Capstone 1

How to pass CPA CFE 2025 Day 1/ Capstone 1

I found that many students are finding difficulty in passing CPA CFE Day 1 exam. Even in 2024, well qualified CA from India and other countries could not get success in passing day 1 exam. Some have approach me to put one course exclusively for Day 1. I provide below in brief some important strategies & tips to pass this exam at first attempt.

Day 1 – Evaluating your soft / professional skills (4 hours)

The first day of the CFE is a Pass/Fail mark treated separately and distinctly from Day 2 or 3. You can pass or fail Day 1 regardless of how you do on Day 2 and Day 3. Similarly, if you fail Day 1, you need to re-do, and successfully complete Day 1 regardless of how you did in Day 2 or 3. Day 1 is linked to the Capstone 1 module with the case being directly tied to your Capstone 1 case. You are provided with the original Capstone 1 case (not your solution) and the updated information on your CFE case. Day 1 tests your soft/professional skills, at a senior management level discussion.  You are not expected to discuss accounting or other technical competencies in any great detail but focus on the ‘enabling competencies’.

Capstone 1 case is mainly focusing enabling competencies. Therefore report will focus enabling competencies in depth and technical up to level 1. Enabling competencies are, problems solving and professional judgement, leadership, ethical, communication and etc. Capstone one case is mainly related with problem solving issue.

  • Know your Capstone 1 case inside and out ahead of time
  • Broad thinking and integration of case facts
  • Assess the situation and what needs to be done (situation analysis)
  • Analyze the major issues
  • Conclude and provide useful advice (solution)
  • Ensure your communication is clear

In situation analysis, provide present environment, assess the situation with tools like, Portal Five forces, PESTAL analysis and SWOT analysis, key success factors, financial ratios and etc. Detail information is provided in background of the case in first 20 pages. Write briefly in 30 to 40 minutes.

In the second part identify all strategic issues (mostly 4) and operating issues.

 For strategic issues, perform both quantitative and qualitative analysis, use appropriate tools for quantitative analysis, and provide your answer looking into internal and external environment of the company, taxation and your information in situation analysis.

Students are required to prepare a report. See the format of report in detail.

Case Writing Skill

Technical Knowledge & Case Writing

Technical knowledge is very important part for CPA exam. Many students do not have enough exposure to previous courses on account of long time gap. Also students found migrating from different countries and obtained exemption from courses studied in their countries. CPA exam test the knowledge of students on main concepts they learned and passed out earlier. This knowledge is very important to solve MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions) and case analysis.

CPA exam are evaluated on the basis of competencies identified by the student. They expect in depth analysis of the response along with professional approach. Points are allotted on the basis of identification, analysis, alternatives and relevant and effective recommendation. Students are required to identify direct and indirect (integrated) competencies in case analysis. Some time students are required to identify hidden competencies as well.

Effective writing is another important skill required to pass CPA exam. Answer should be very well drafted, concise, clear and with easy to flow language. This requires lot of practice for physical writing. A wonderful write-up of a non-relevant issue is of no use to the reader. On the other hand, you need to be able to show your knowledge in a clear, coherent manner that the reader can understand and be able to use in his/her decision-making. A professional response integrates a discussion of the appropriate technical knowledge with a clearly communicated writing style. It is important to apply conceptual knowledge and exercise judgment. You will have to use your knowledge to solve practical problems. This means you will have to know what parts of that knowledge are relevant in a given situation. You also will need to be able to identify the problem from the facts provided.  You will have to consider alternatives, analyze them using your core knowledge and exercise your judgment in choosing one alternative.  Finally you must support your recommendation with a logical argument flowing from your analysis. Write your answer with proper heading and sub-headings; do not write case analysis like a story. There are many competencies that marker need to assess form your response, and therefore well-organized professional write up is the key to get success in the final exam.

Students will face case analysis from CPA Core 1 & 2 exam and onward till Common Final

For better approach and appearing with confidence in the exam, contact the tutor directly for guidance
