FORMAT CHANGE FOR <strong>CQA</strong> EXAM<br />

Examinations based on the 2004 BOK will contain a number <strong>of</strong> case studies.<br />

Each case study will include a brief scenario outlining critical details about an<br />

audit situation. In addition, each case study will be supported by related audit<br />

documents. Approximately 15-20% (25-30 questions) <strong>of</strong> the test will be<br />

devoted to these case studies. Although the questions related to these cases<br />

will use the same four-choice answer format as the rest <strong>of</strong> the test, the use <strong>of</strong><br />

scenario details and sample documents will allow the candidates to apply their<br />

critical thinking skills in evaluating realistic situations and accompanying<br />

documents, communiqués, etc. Additional time will be needed to process all<br />

elements <strong>of</strong> the case studies, and, therefore, the length <strong>of</strong> examination time<br />

will be increased from four hours to five hours.<br />
