Becker Professional Education announces document review simulation (DRS) for CPA Exam prep

Becker Professional Education announced on Monday the launch of a new document review simulation (DRS) as part of its CPA Exam Review. The task-based simulation, created by the AICPA, will notably begin appearing on select CPA Exams this year.

DRS will debut in July 2016 on the Financial, Audit and Regulation sections of some CPA Exams. As a response, Becker has updated its CPA Exam Review program to reflect the new format.

Becker will also be hosting webinar onWednesday, May 11, 2016, from 4:00-5:00 p.m. CTto provide give an overview of the new DRS section. The webinar will be led by Michael Brown, Becker’s national manager of faculty and distance learning, and will cover how the new simulations work and strategies for handling them on the exam.
