Course Overview
The CPA designation provides assurance to the public, the government, and the business community that CPA licensees have obtained the education and relevant work experience necessary to perform specialized accounting, auditing, and reporting services within a strict code of professional ethics.
The FAR section tests on the financial reporting framework issued by several standard-setters—including FASB, IASB, U.S. SEC, and the GASB. Task-based skill testing is performed, including an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of different standards by comparing respective financial statements.
Prerequisites
To qualify for the CPA Exam as an international candidate, you need to meet educational and other requirements specific to the state or jurisdiction in which you intend to be licensed to practice.
