Broad St., Suite 1500 Columbus, Ohio 43215 614-885-7407 or email marketing@bradyware.com BRADY WARE TEAM MEMBER PASSES BEC SECTION OF CPA EXAM (Columbus, OH) - Brady Ware is pleased to announce Scott Felts success in passing the Business Environment and Concepts section of the CPA exam. Scott currently resides in Columbus, Ohio, and brings over 20 years of nonprofit and retail experience to his position as a Staff Accountant in Brady Ware's Columbus office. The Uniform CPA Examination currently consists of four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). These four sections represent a total of 14 hours of testing. The Uniform CPA Examination developed from the examination that was used for admission to membership in the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). In 1917, the Institute offered the examination for use in the licensure process by Boards of Accountancy. At that time, Boards in three jurisdictions accepted the invitation. It was not until 1952 that the examination was first used in all jurisdictions. Until the end of 2003, the Uniform CPA Examination was administered twice a year in the paper-andpencil format. In April 2004, the computer-based CPA Examination was launched and the paper-andpencil examination was discontinued. In 2009, the computer-based CPA Examination reached a milestone one million administrations. A new CPA Examination release is scheduled for 2011.
