重磅消息：AICPA新版考试大纲发布了！

重磅消息：AICPA考试委员会发布AICPA新考纲了！本考纲的生效时间是2019年第一考季（2019年1月1日起实行)。相关详情如下：

这次考纲更新受影响的科目有AUD、FAR和REG。其中，REG由于受到P.L. 115-97, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act，也就是俗称的特朗普税改的影响，在联邦个人所得税与公司所得税部分有较大的改动。

FAR/AUD这两门的变动较少。BEC由于此前考试大纲已经针对COSO ERM进行了部分改动，此次2019年1月1日生效的大纲则没有对BEC进行任何调整。

下面，我们就来按照科目分类，分别为大家介绍这次大纲变动的内容。

FAR

由于受到非政府性以及非盈利组织财报的相关规定的颁布，FAR的大纲变化体现在：

· 增加了新的topic：Notes to financial statements (of nongovernmental, not-for-profit entities)

· 调整非政府性以及非盈利组织财务报表的注释，纠正错误和遗漏。

AUD

对于Professional Skepticism，即审计师的职业怀疑的相关要求添加了更多的细节。但是，相关补充不影响AUD的考试范围与内容设置。这一补充主要是使得考生更明确自己在AUD课程学习中对Professional Skepticism需要掌握与理解的程度，以及AUD考试对这些知识点的测试深度。

大纲中针对不同的知识点考察范围，加入了以下分析性及代表性任务：

针对Ethics, Professional

Responsibilities and General Principles – Ethics, independence and professional conduct 

· Understand the concepts of professional skepticism and professional judgment.

· Understand personal bias and other impediments to acting with professional skepticism, such as threats, incentives and judgment-making shortcuts.

· Investigate evidence that either contradicts or corroborates management explanations, expectations and other hypotheses throughout an audit or non-audit engagement.

针对Performing Further

· Analyze responses obtained during structured or informal interviews with management and others, including those in non-financial roles, and ask relevant and effective follow-up questions to understand their perspectives and motivations in an audit or non-audit engagement.

针对Performing Further

Procedures and Obtaining Evidence - Performing specific procedures to obtain

evidence - All other procedures

· Modify planned procedures based upon new information, such as inconsistent explanations, new evidence and environmental cues, to achieve audit objectives in an audit of an issuer or a nonissuer.

REG

由于受“税收减免和工作法案”（TCJA）的发布与实施，预计在2019年Q1之后参加REG考试的考生大多忧心忡忡，不知该如何是好。根据网校老师对于Blueprint Summary的解读，改动涉及3个Area（REG考纲共5个Area），共12处变更。

变动的主要内容是“税收减免和工作法案”（TCJA）删除了Personal Exemption，AMT（Alternative Minimum Tax），以及针对跨司法区域税务处理 (multi-jurisdictional tax issues)的相关税法细则的修改。

改动内容分为三大类：修订（Revised），添加（Added），以及删除（Removed）。下面我们就来分别列示改动的相关内容：

修订（Revised）

· Compare the tax benefits of the different expensing options for tax depreciation for federal income tax purposes.

· Group name - Filing status

· Topic name - Computations of taxable income, taxliability and allowable credits

· Analyze the impact of net operating and/orcapital losses during tax planning for a Ccorporation.
