CPA PRACTICE
— 11 CPA Candidates Take Home Elijah Watt Sells Award for 2024. More than 74,000 individuals sat for the CPA exam last year, but only 11 met the criteria to receive the prestigious Elijah Watt Sells Award from the AICPA and NASBA. Politics is nasty/vicious. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Only about 20% who take the examination can say that. But my critics/opponents stress that others got better scores than I did. Very few CPAs become licensed CPAs. But I did.
