- Abstract
This study investigates reports issued by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy regarding the pass rate on the Certified Public Accountancy Examination in the AAA Southwest Region for three years, 2009-2011. The larger, more well-known schools dominate in terms of the number of sections passed. The percentage passing rate per student is a better indicator of candidate participation and success than the total number of sections passed. Several of the institutions in the Southwest Region with the highest passing rates are not AACSB accredited. The same is true in relation to the average score. By analyzing data according to percentage passing rates, and average scores verses total number of sections passed, the success rate of a wider range of institutions becomes apparent.
