This analysis showed conclusively that the observed decrease inthe number of CPA exam-takers was not due to the 150-hour requirement. Specifically, therewas no statistically significant correlation between the 150-hour requirement and the number ofCPA exam candidates. To cite just one of many examples of data from the study: 8 jurisdictionsnever enacted the 150-hour requirement during the period 1998 to 2008. These constitute 15%of all jurisdictions; and, despite no change in the exam requirements, they experienced about20% of the total decline in exam-takers—a clear indicator that the decline was independent ofthe requirement. In seeking alternative explanations for this decline, Schroeder and Franzsuggested “ignorance about a career in
