Nashville, TN (PRWEB) January 27, 2015 -- The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) announces the release of the 2014 Uniform CPA Examination Candidate Performance Book. Published annually, the book features comprehensive statistical data from all four (4) testing windows of the Uniform CPA Examination administered in 2014.
Top-ranked colleges and universities, accounting firms, researchers, professors, university accounting programs, corporate recruiters, students and aspiring certified public accountants find great value in the publication’s numerous statistical components.

According to University of Baltimore Professor Greg Gaynor, “By supplying data and analysis regarding candidate performance, NASBA helps both schools and the accounting profession by assisting in the development of successful accounting graduates and future CPAs.”
In addition to the summary data points, significant emphasis has been placed on enhancing the demographics reported throughout the publication's two-page jurisdictional dashboards. Featured tables also provide a more granular view of individual exam event and performance data.
