CPA Evolution and the increased integration of Excel skills and Tableau dashboard skills in Accounting Programs

Tue, May 25, 12:30 to 1:30pm, Virtual, TBA

Abstract

With the AICPA commitment to CPA evolution and the upcoming revisions of the CPA exam, there is an increased focus within accounting programs on adding to existing programs on Excel skills and Tableau dashboard skills within all levels of accounting classes. It makes sense for accounting programs to develop a comprehensive strategy for placing required competencies of basic and advanced levels of Excel skills and dashboard skills within the various course outlines. Each accounting discipline (audit, tax, governmental and consulting) applies Excel skills and Tableau dashboard skills to information in different ways, so specific modules within courses allows students to encounter a range of uses for the technology within the program courses. This panel will involve teachers who have integrated the technology into their courses, with insights on best practices and possible formats for introducing skills.

This could be used as an ELS presentation if it is not possible to include it as a Teaching skills panel.
