Where can I get the solutions to Neptune Point Fisheries Inc. (NPF) V1?
The solutions for May 2024 CFE NPF v1 will NOT be released by CPA Canada until later in 2026. I have written sample strong answers to NPF v1 case. It’s a realistic answer that you can use for self-debrief or send for marking. You can obtain it from here.
Will I get these cases in Capstone 2?
If you are registered for the Capstone 2 module for Winter 2025 or Summer 2025, you will not receive the Day 1 case solutions 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 videos.
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
