Becoming A Cpa – Steps To Be Taken

Postby amarsingh » Wed Feb 03, 2010 12:57 am

If you have studied accounting and want to go further up, the next big step is to obtain a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license which is prepared by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), an accounting professional association in the United States. If you have decided to become a CPA, you must complete the process of sitting for the examination, passing it and then obtaining a license.
Becoming a CPA will increase your credibility and add to the value of your portfolio. You can also earn higher wages and other financial advantages after CPA. To be eligible for Certified Public Accountant (CPA), an undergraduate degree in any major with 150 credit hours of course work along with a minimum of 36 credit hours in accounting is required.

Here are some important steps you should be following in order to become a CPA:

• Perform thorough research and learn everything about the CPA examinations. There are many online examination resources available easily or you can learn from past aspirants who have already sat for the CPA exams.

• Ensure that you fit all the qualifications and then apply for the examination by obtaining an application, furnishing it with required details and then submitting it appropriately with the required fees and documents.

• This process could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 8 weeks, during which you can prepare for the CPA examination. You should keep yourself updated about the changes in the CPA examination which are very frequent.

• Choose your territory where you wish to qualify, as different territories and different jurisdictions have different requirements from their CPAs. This has much to do with your eligibility. Different instruction will be given for different territories and you should be careful to make a note of the same.
