The aim of the article is to assess the variables that are influenced performance on the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Kuwait. To achieve the aim of the study, structure questionnaire was improved and delivered to a sample of (150) of the study population of candidates recently licensed CPAs to find out their interpretations of the causes that influence their performance on the CPA exam, the amount of questionnaires returned and ready for analysis was (120),with a reply rate of 80%.
The study showed that the success of the CPA exam in Kuwait is generally dependent on factors related to the exam itself and the candidate who is taking the exam. It reported that the most important challenges linked to the CPA exam are unlimited scope of the CPA exam followed by the exam's questions do not cover all subjects and the exam does not measure the examinee's capabilities. Moreover, the analysis showed that insufficient preparation of the exam is the main variable affecting the performance of CPA exam followed by accepting the idea of repeating the exam. Finally, the study recommends that academicians in accounting should train the students for the exam. They should pay attention to curriculum to assure that learners are provided the good training for the examination.

ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini ingin menguji persepsi niat mahasiswa untuk mengambil sertifikasi akuntan profesional sebagai Chartered Accountant (CA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), dan Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa program studi akuntansi Universitas Pekalongan. Sampel penelitian diambil dengan menggunakan random sampling pada mahasiswa Universitas Pekalongan. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dengan penyebaran kuesioner. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji validitas, uji realiabilitas, uji asumsi klasik dan regresi linier berganda. Penelitian menemukan bahwa sikap dan harapan atas hasil memiliki hubungan positif terhadap niat mengambil sertifikasi akuntan profesional. Pemahaman tidak memiliki hubungan terhadap niat mengambil sertifikasi akuntan profesional. Hal ini mengimplikasikan bahwa untuk meningkatkan niat mahasiswa untuk menempuh sertifikasi akuntan profesional maka dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan pemahaman mahasiswa terkait sertifikasi akuntan profesional. Selain itu, untuk memotivasi mahasiswa juga perlu meningkatkan pemahaman harapan atas hasil jika menempuh sertifikasi akuntan profesional. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to examine the perception of students' intentions to take professional accountant certification as a Chartered Accountant (CA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The research subjects were students of the Universitas Pekalongan accounting study program. The research sample was taken using random sampling at Universitas Pekalongan students. Research data were collected by distributing questionnaires. The data analysis technique used validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test and multiple linear regression. The study found that attitudes and outcome expectations had a correlation on the intention to take professional accountant certification. While understanding does not have correlation on the intention to take professional accountant certification. This implies that to increase students' intention to take professional accountant certification, it can be done by increasing students' understanding of professional accountant certification. In addition, to motivate students, it is also necessary to increase understanding of expectations for results when taking professional accountant certification.

The demand for CPAs is no doubt very welcome news to the profession. Nevertheless, while this is happening, there is a wide gap between the number of graduates and the number of takers in the CPA board examination. The investigation aimed determined the factors affecting BSA graduates’ Readiness for CPA Licensure Examination. The 63 alumni respondents participated in the study on a snowball inspecting strategy in information gathering. Frequency and simple percentage, weighted mean, Chi-Square Test of Independence, and One-way ANOVA were used to treat and interpret the data. The examination revealed that administrative support, personal factors, and motivational factors have contributed greatly to the graduates' decision to take the board exam. It was also revealed that the knowledge, capabilities, and ways of thinking and acting of the graduates were affected greatly through the said factors. A significant relationship was identified between the factors in terms of financial aspects, academic performance, administrative support, personal factors, motivational factors, and the extent of contribution of these factors to the graduate's readiness for CPA licensure examination. The study concluded that several factors really affect the graduates’ decision to take the CPA licensures examination.

Full textAbstract:
<p class="Format2thEY"><em>Convergence of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Indonesia requires certified public accountant (CPA) for update their knowledge on Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) all the time. Auditors’ knowledge on PSAK is very important for performing high quality audit. CPA firm is trying to maintain the audit quality by applying auditing standards on quality control established by the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountant (IAPI). This study examined the relationship and effectiveness of the policies and procedures for each component of quality control standard on the auditors’ ability to detect material misstatement in the financial statements applying PSAK from IFRS convergence. The study presents that quality control standard contributes 65% of auditors’ knowledge on PSAK whereby policies and procedures of inspection provide strongest contribution compared to the policies and procedures related to the independence, consultation, supervision, professional development, and promotion. The study also presents that the professional development in the form of class-training or on-the-job training is the most effective way to improve PSAK knowledge.</em><em></em></p>

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the association between the financial expertise of the chief financial officer (CFO) and concerns about corporate governance. Design/methodology/approach – Consistent with prior research, the authors used four variables, including certified public accountant (CPA) certification, Master of Business Administration degree, age of CFO and length of CFO tenure, to measure CFO’s financial expertise. The authors hypothesize a negative association between CFO expertise and concerns about corporate governance. Findings – Regression analysis revealed that the CPA certification is negatively associated with governance concerns at a significant level. The results suggest that stakeholders show less concerns about a company’s corporate governance mechanism when the CFO has a CPA certification. In particular, the results support the recommendation by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants that a CFO of a public firm should have a CPA certification. Originality/value – The study is important in the following ways. First, the study delivers new evidence on the link between CFO financial expertise and corporate governance. This contributes to the CFO financial expertise literature and the corporate governance literature. Second, according to Standard and Poor’s, equity index investing has grown more popular over the past 30 years. The study delivers useful information to index investors who invest in S & P SmallCap 600 Index. Third, regulators have put a large amount of resources to discover ways to strengthen firms’ corporate governance. Thus, the results should be of interest to policy makers who design and implement guidelines on corporate governance mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the most recent results of an ongoing, longitudinal study of characteristics of accounting students conducted by the Federation of Schools of Accountancy (FSA). Surveys were administered to seniors and Mastera^€™s students at FSA member schools in the United States in 1995 and again in 2000. Data regarding student characteristics in 1995 and 2000 are presented. Specifically, the study contains evidence pertaining to student quality, future educational plans, career plans, plans for professional certification, extracurricular involvement, attitude toward the 150-hour requirement, and various demographic dimensions. The results of the survey do not coincide with those of other studies that have reported a decline in the quality of accounting students. On the contrary, our findings suggest that the quality of accounting students is not decreasing. Further research is necessary to more fully understand these contradictory findings and the direction and magnitude of any changes in student quality. Other findings of this study include a reversal in the gender mix of graduate students, with females now comprising the majority. More graduate students are pursuing their studies full-time. The average age of students is declining. More accounting students are interested in taking the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam and pursuing careers in public accounting, while interest in the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam and in pursuing careers in industry are declining. Both seniors and Master's students indicate a very high level of support for five or more years of college education for the CPA. Student involvement in internship programs has nearly doubled since 1995, while involvement in extracurricular organizations has dropped. These results are relevant to many currently debated topics in accounting education—including the effects of the implementation of the 150-hour rule in many states.

Full textAbstract:
The Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examinations among BS Accountancy graduates can be considered as the culminating direct measure on how an accountancy retention policy program in a school prepares students to becoming CPAs. This study is aimed to gauge how cumulative qualifying grade point average of a student from first year to fifth year college and the fifth year comprehensive exams serve as predictors for the CPA Board Exams for a university in Central Luzon, Philippines. To measure the quality of the predictors, October examinees from the graduating batch were the focus of the study. With five hundred fifty three (553) BS Accountancy coming from five alumni batches, three hundred fifty eight (358) passed, fifty five (55) are conditioned and one hundred twenty (120) have failed during the first take of comprehensive exams. Auditing theory, business law and taxation are the most difficult subjects with less than two thirds (< 2/3) of the first takers as passing the said subjects. Those with a CGPA of 1.554 or higher in the undergrad, finishing with latin honors have the highest probability of passing the board. A range of four percent (either -4% to +4%) serves as the average variance between fifth year comprehensive exams and board examination performance for all first takers. Both the CGPA (r=0.632) and comprehensive examinations (r=0.745) are moderate predictors of the board examinations which imply that the accountancy program for the university can still be improved to further prepare the students to become CPAs.

Full textAbstract:
While CPA (Certified Public Accountant) firms utilize cloud auditing technologies to generate auditing reports and convey information to their clients in the Internet of Things (IoT) Era, they often cannot determine whether cloud auditing is a secure and effective form of communication with clients. Strategies related to cloud auditing provider evaluation and improvement planning are inherently multiple attribute decision making (MADM) issues and are very important to the auditor industry. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes an evaluation and improvement planning model to be a reference for CPA firms selecting the best cloud auditing provider, and illustrates an application of such a model through an empirical case study. The DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory) approach is first used to analyze the interactive influence relationship map (IIRM) between the criteria and dimensions of cloud auditing technology. DANP (DEMATEL-based ANP) is then employed to calculate the influential weights of the dimensions and criteria. Finally, the modified VIKOR method is utilized to provide improvement priorities for performance cloud auditing provider satisfaction. Based on expert interviews, the recommendations for improvement priorities are privacy, security, processing integrity, availability, and confidentiality. This approach is expected to support the auditor industry to systematically improve their cloud auditing provider selection.

Full textAbstract:
The graduates it produces often determine the quality of education offered by an institution. In like manner, the quality of graduates produced by an institution is measured by their performance in licensure examinations. The study determined the level of student’s academic performance, aspirations, attitudes towards accounting and study habits. It also determined the performance of the graduates in the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure examination, as well as the relationship of the academic performance, aspirations, attitudes towards accounting and study habits and the performance in the licensure examination. One hundred twenty-four (124) respondents were considered in the study which utilized the descriptive-correlational method. A survey questionnaire determined the level of academic performance, aspirations, attitudes and study habits. Official results of the CPA Licensure Examination were retrieved from the Professional Regulation Commission. The study employed frequency counts, weighted means, ranking and regression analysis as statistical tools. The respondents had good academic performance, a high level of aspiration, a favorable attitude towards Accounting and good study habits. Performance of graduates is above the national passing percentage, though, graduates do not make it in the first attempt. Graduates performed best in the Theory of Accounts while the weakest performance is in Practical Accounting I. Academic performance, attitudes towards accounting and study habits are significantly related to the performance in the examination while the level of aspirations was not related. The study recommended the emphasis of students’ persistence to work toward their goals, study habits and passion in accounting in admitting prospective students. Regular assessment through a qualifying examination is also recommended to improve performance.

Full textAbstract:
The accounting profession continually has problems with hiring and keeping qualified staff; and many accounting scandals have shown a lack of ethical behavior on the part of Certified Public Accountants (CPA). This suggest a misfit between those in the profession and the ethics that the profession strives towards. Research has shown that the congruity of personal values with organizational values, person-organization fit (P-O fit), is an important factor in the hiring, socialization, and retention of employees. In addition, ethical behavior has been found related to P-O fit. Accounting educators have been called upon to address these problems by inculcating accounting students with the values of the accounting profession.
This research firstly reports on the results of a comparison of the personal values of upper level accounting students in Georgia with the personal values of CPA leaders in Georgia. Personal value priorities were measured with the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS). The findings indicated that these samples of Georgia CPA leaders (N = 193) and accounting students (N = 516) significantly differed in the priority given to 24 of the 36 (66.7%) RVS values. This result suggests a lack of P-O fit between accounting students and the accounting profession.
Secondly, this research reports on the effectiveness of two education interventions designed to improve the P-O fit of accounting students: a Curriculum Modification Intervention and a Value Self-Confrontation (VSC) Intervention. These education interventions were delivered online as part of the content of two distance learning classes on accounting ethics. The curriculum of both classes were augmented with content aimed at increasing the priority given to the value of courageous. The two classes were designated as either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 received only the Curriculum Modification Intervention. Group 2 received both the Curriculum Modification Intervention and the VSC Intervention, which was targeted at increasing the priority given to the four values of capable,
courageous. honest, and responsible—values related to the Code of Professional Conduct and Bylaws (2012) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The results indicated that Group 1, from the beginning to the end of class (short-term value change), did not increase the priority given to courageous. Thus, the stand-alone Curriculum Modification Intervention did not result in the desired effect. Group 2, on the other hand, did increase the short-term priority given to all four of the targeted values. Moreover, Group 2 increased the long-term priority given to two of the four targeted values: capable and courageous. The higher priority given to these values at the end of class persisted for 15-16 weeks. The effect sizes indicated practical significance. These results suggest that the VSC Intervention was effective at inducing both short-term and long-term value change in the priority given to values of importance to the ethics of the accounting profession.
These findings have implications for CPA firms, specifically with regard to hiring ethically “fitting” staff and fostering an ethical culture in accounting firms. The results of this research also provide input that may be helpful in improving accounting pedagogy, especially the pedagogy of accounting ethics education and distance education.
