Will a candidate with Graduation degree and CA-CPT be eligible for CPA?
Yes, a candidate with a graduation degree and CA-CPT (Common Proficiency Test) can be eligible to pursue the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) designation, but eligibility varies by state in the U.S.
To sit for the CPA exam, most states require candidates to have a bachelor’s degree and a total of 150 credit hours of post-secondary education. CA-CPT is typically considered equivalent to certain educational credits, but specific credit evaluations must be conducted based on your educational background. Generally, having a CA (Chartered Accountant) qualification or related degrees such as an MBA can help fulfill the additional credit requirements necessary to meet the 150-hour criterion.
Additionally, candidates are often required to demonstrate relevant work experience in accounting, typically around one to two years, and must pass the CPA exam comprising four sections. Some states also mandate an ethics exam. It’s advisable to check the specific requirements of the state you wish to apply in and consider having your educational qualifications evaluated by an accredited body to ensure you meet all necessary criteria for CPA eligibility.
