CPA Review Course as Part of The Online MAcc Curriculum
MIKE DUFFY: Let me show you in two minutes, how the Wiley CPAexcel review course will get you through the exam the first time. We’ll need to address five key items, the exam planner, your customized schedule, the content you need to cover, and being familiar with the computerized exam. Last but not least, final review and working on weak areas.
So with that, let’s jump into the five categories. The first step here is to create your plan. And with our exam planner, you will simply enter your begin study date and the date you plan to sit for the exam and your customized exam plan is generated. Secondly, your customized schedule. With your customized plan in place, you’ll begin your studies with your first assignment and will work each bite size lesson within each assignment.
The next key area is the content you need to cover. You will work through the must-know material for each lesson, which includes lectures from some of the top faculty in the country on what you need to focus on. You’ll review the text material, and most importantly, the exam questions. Your goal is to answer 90% of your questions correctly and then move on to the next topic.
Being familiar with a computerized exam is key. Every time you practice questions in our program, you will be experiencing the exact format as the exam itself. You’ll receive feedback on each quiz and each question with supporting rationals. You’re now in the final stretch, which includes full simulated CPA exams with exam analysis provided upon completion of the exam.
Last but not least is your personal performance analysis based on the AICPA, SSO/CSO to help you identify areas requiring additional review. So those are the five keys to get you to your goal, and Wiley CPAexcel provides those tools for you. So take advantage of our 14 day free trial and see it for yourself. I’d like to thank you for joining me today. And I wish you the best in your exam preparation.

Why the Big 4 Matter
Known as the “Big 4,” these firms dominate the industry, auditing more than 80 percent of all U.S. public companies. In addition, these powerhouse organizations advise on taxes and offer a wide range of management and assurance services.
1) Deloitte LLP
Deloitte LLP is the number one firm in the United States. The company began as three separate companies of William Deloitte, Charles Haskins, Elijah Sells and George Touche, and is consistently voted as one of the best employers to work for by Fortune Magazine.
2) PricewaterhouseCoopers
PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) is ranked as the number two accounting firm in the United States. The company, founded by Samuel Lowell Price, began in London in 1849 and now offers a plethora of services to clients, including audit and assurance, consulting, IFRS reporting and tax services. Current and potential employees of the company benefit from a wide range of specializations. PwC maintains one of the most diverse working environments in the U.S. and is ranked number five of 50 companies by “Diversity Inc.”
3) Ernst & Young
With locations in more than 150 countries and over 700 offices, Ernst & Young offer an array of services such as assurance, taxes, advisement, transactions and many more. This wide range of services also allows the company to cater to a very diverse group of employees.
4) KPMG
KPMG rounds out the list of the Big 4. The company has more than 670 offices located in over 150 countries and was originally established in 1911 when William Barclay Peat & Co. merged with Marwick Mitchell & Co. to form Peat Marwick. KPMG offers three main services: audits, advisory services and taxes. However, these three services can be broken down into many sub-services, making KPMG a full-service firm.
