Where can I get the Day 1 API v1 solution?

Are Day 2 and Day 3 solutions available?
CPA Canada released the official solutions to September 2024 CFE cases in May 2025.
Will I get API v1 solution in Capstone 2?
If you are registered for the Capstone 2 module for Spring 2025, you will NOT receive the solution to Day 1 API v1. 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:
