MPA Alums Named Top CPA Exam Performers

Two McCombs School of Business alumni were recognized by the American Institute of CPAs as winners of the Elijah Watt Sells Award, which recognizes outstanding performance on the CPA examination.

Hyungmin Kim and Maureen Patricia Sweet, both MPA ’16, were among 58 CPA candidates — out of 95,858 individuals who sat for the exam last year — who performed exceptionally well during testing in 2017. They obtained a cumulative average score above 95.50 across all four sections of the CPA examination and passed all four sections of the examination on their first attempt.
