Similar to prior CPA Canada Common Final Exams (CFEs), the June 2026 CFE will test two Day 1, one Day 2 and three Day 3 cases.
(Note: Usually CFEs are in May and September. For 2026, the May 2026 CFE has been delayed to June [June 2 to June 4], so it’s referred to as “June 2026 CFE” in this post.)
The following Day 1 cases will be tested in June 2026:
- Karnat Bread Company Ltd. (KBC) v1
- Viviana’s Trattoria Ltd. (VTL) v2

There is no CFE in May 2027.

Where can I get the solutions?
The solutions for June 2026 CFE exam cases will NOT be released by CPA Canada until 2027. In the interim, I will write sample answers to help you prepare for the September 2026 CFE.
When available, you can download as PDF and Excel from here.
Will I get these cases in Capstone 2?
If you are registered for the Capstone 2 module for Summer 2026, you will NOT receive these cases at the module. You should download using the links above. If you are someone challenging the exam, such as an internationally trained accountant applying under MRA/MOU, please also download using the links above.
How do I prepare for the CFE?
There are several prep methods for the CFE. You will need to focus on these three items:
- Technical knowledge
- Case writing skills
- Strategy
I speak a lot about these items on my YouTube channel and webinars. You can check out my latest webinar.
Technicals:
- Know the key topics on each of the competencies
- Distinguish depth from breadth
- Debrief
Case writing skills:
- It’s all about following the CPA Way
- Know your case inside out
- Integrate throughout the case
Strategy:
- Prepare a study plan
- Obtain study materials
- Get support and resources
