CFE Day 1 Cases for 2026–2028: What CPA Candidates Should Expect
With the CPA Professional Education Program changing in 2027, many candidates are trying to understand what the final years of the current CFE format will look like. One of the most important pieces of information is the Day 1 case rotation. Knowing which cases will appear in each exam window helps you plan your study strategy and avoid surprises.
Below is a clear breakdown of the Day 1 cases scheduled for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 CFEs.
June 2026 CFE – Day 1 Cases
Two returning cases will be tested:
Karnat Bread Company Ltd. (KBC) – Version 1
Viviana’s Trattoria Ltd. (VTL) – Version 2
These cases emphasize strategic analysis, financial implications, and long‑term decision‑making — core skills for Day 1 success.
September 2026 CFE – Day 1 Cases
Candidates will see a different pair of cases:
Singular Textiles Corporation (STC) – Version 1
Meadowlark Entertainment Inc. (MEI) – Version 2
Expect a mix of operational strategy, risk assessment, and performance measurement.

September 2027 CFE – Day 1 Cases
Singular Textiles Corporation (STC) – Version 2
A new Day 1 case – Version 1 (to be released)

September 2028 CFE – Day 1 Cases
The final CFE under the current program will include:
