Certified Public Accountants

What does it mean to be a CPA?

To become a CPA, you need to meet the requirements of the state or jurisdiction in which you wish to practice. These requirements, which vary from state to state, are established by law and administered by the state boards of accountancy.

To qualify for certification, you complete a program of study in accounting at a college/university (the AICPA recommends at least 150 semester hours of college study to obtain the common body of knowledge for becoming a CPA). You must pass the Uniform CPA Examination, which is developed and graded by the AICPA; and have a certain amount of professional work experience in public accounting (not all states require this).

The Uniform CPA Examination is an extensive exam consisting of four sections: Auditing and Attestation, Financial Accounting and Reporting, Regulation and Business Environment and Concepts.

Once you have become a CPA, you are required to take at least 120 hours of continuing professional education courses, with a minimum of 20 hours in each year, during a three year cycle to retain your professional license to practice. In each three year period, a licensee shall complete a minimum of four hours of continuing professional education in the area of professional ethics.
