The CPA Leadership module will strengthen your strategic and management technical knowledge, while developing your ethical mindset, critical thinking, and advanced professional competencies. The CPA Leadership exam is a single 5-hour case that is intentionally time-pressured. It will provide limited direction and less prescriptive requirements.
The CPA Leadership Essentials course and practice exam will be available for purchase in early March 2027.
