CIA® Exam Content

Where EXAM SUCCESS is GURANTEED!!

Dr. Gleim and his wife wrote the first Gleim CPA Review book in 1974. In 1980, when John Wiley took over the publishing of the Gleim CPA Examination Review, sales to accounting students and CPA candidates had grown to over 90% of the CPA review-book market. Dr. Gleim remained as coauthor (Gleim/Delaney) until 1990. In 1994, Dr. Gleim re-entered the CPA review market with innovative new books, Test Prep Software, audios, and online courses. Since 1980, he has self-published the most widely used CIA Review and CMA Review and five accounting student study books. Students can use the Gleim reference books to study throughout their college/university careers and then use the review manuals to pass professional exams. Gleim also provides hundreds of hours of CPE credit for professional accountants.
