 HOW?  

How to apply for the CPA Exam in India?

The application process is the same regardless of the location you take the US CPA exam. You must first apply through a U.S. jurisdiction, which will license you as a CPA in that state. This first step is necessary even for international CPAs, because it’s the individual U.S. states (or territories such as Puerto Rico) that license CPAs, not the federal government.

Choose your U.S. jurisdiction/state

If you don’t live in the U.S., it can be difficult to know which state to select for your CPA license. Each of the 55 jurisdictions (states) has its own Board of Accountancy eligibility requirements.

Some states have flexible or reduced education requirements or other elements that may make your international CPA Exam application easier. We’ve done some research to help you understand which states are best for international CPA applicants.

Request application materials from the jurisdiction board.

You can access all state Board of Accountancy websites as well as ask NASBA any questions you may have here.

Submit your application and fees.

You will submit your CPA Exam application and fees to NASBA’s CPA Examination Services division. NASBA processes these on behalf of each jurisdiction’s Board of Accountancy.

Once the board confirms your qualifications and issues an NTS for you, schedule your exam.

You will schedule your CPA Exam with Prometric, the organization that administers the CPA Exam for all locations worldwide.

NASBA also lays out information on jurisdictions, eligibility, fees, and scheduling as well as document requirements by country.

When can I take the CPA Exam?

Starting from November, 2020, write your exams on any work day throughout the year in the allocated prometrics.

Remember, you have 18 months to complete all four sections of the exam once you pass the first section. See more on how to set your CPA Exam schedule.

The Certified Public Accountant, commonly referred as the US CPA course , is a globally recognized public accounting certification. 

Individuals who often take up accounting as a career prefer to go for further certifications to enhance their accounting skill and update their knowledge.

One of the most preferred qualification chosen by the accounting students is the US CPA certification. US CPA course is a four-paper course: 

1. Auditing and Attestation (AUD)
2. Business Environment and Concepts (BEC)
3. Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR)
4. Regulation (REG).

Why the US CPA course certification is highly demanded? 

CPAs these days are keeping every industry on track. It is seen CPAs have become one of the most important decision makers in organizations. Being a qualified CPA, finance professionals are capable to analyse and interpret financial information which helps them to understand where the business is actually heading.

Working as a qualified US CPA professional in the US will open the door of opportunities. The major function of a US CPA course is to offer public accounting services but they are also responsible for tax preparation and audit functions.

Why Indians go for the US CPA?

Each year in India, more than a lakh students enroll themselves for the Indian CA/ ICWA. The role of a CA and CPA is very similar. The major difference between both the certifications is Indian CAs are well known within India but when it comes to perform on a global scale US CPA course is more valued by the companies, mainly the ones having their business in the US. Hence we get global recognition by pursuing CPA US.

There are plenty of companies in India who run their business on global platforms mainly in the US. US GAAP and IFRS are the most integrated tasks within the multinational companies. It is seen that because of scarcity of CPAs in India, Indian CAs perform these tasks after being trained by the companies.

Thus the more number of MNCs are setting up their businesses in India, the higher is getting the demand of CPAs in this country. It is believed CPAs are able to work in wide variety of areas of finance compared to their counterparts.

  # Examination: 

 1.Eligibility Evaluation- The first step towards the CPA examination is to “Transcripts evaluation”. Before selecting the State board of accountancy, candidates will have got their educational documents (transcripts) evaluated by the evaluating agencies. The well-known evaluation agencies are NIES and FACS. The CPA evaluation process takes 4 -5 weeks of time.

2. Once the state board is confirmed, candidates can apply then apply to the state board for the examination. Pay the exam fee and schedule the testing appointments at the Prometric centre.
