Given the introduction of the CPA Evolution, accounting educators must integrate more advanced skills in their coursework. We recognize the need for change and develop an action plan to evaluate the effectiveness of a financial statement analysis research project under a groupwork format. The goal is to enhance several skills business school graduates need in the workplace, including critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to work with other people. Following action research protocol, we used stakeholder (instructor and student) feedback to formulate recommendations to improve the group project to be better aligned with the CPA Evolution Model Curriculum, yet still, meet the needs of non-accounting majors and prepare all students for future business careers.
