AICPA, the governing body of the US CPA qualification, mandates having a total of 120 credit points in order to appear for the CPA exam. The CPA USA eligibility of Indian students is as follows:

 

The eligibility for CPA certification requires 120 credits. Every year of university education in India is equivalent to 30-semester credits of US education. ·

 

Using 1 year = 30 credits,

 

B.com = 3 years x 30 credits = 90 credits

 

Exception: If B.com is cleared in 1st division from a NAAC ‘A’ university, a candidate are entitled to 30 additional credits, thereby increasing the credits to 120, however now many state boards in the US are not following this rule.

 

Assuming a candidate have only 90 credits (as per your graduation) then, candidate can pursue either M.com or MBA through distance learning for attaining the balance credit points, but a candidate can still sit for the CPA exam.

Up-to-date tax knowledge:

 

Successful accountants stay current with tax laws and mandates, which change constantly. To best serve their clients and organizations, everyone from payroll administrators to tax accountants to financial planners should take continuing professional education (CPE) courses in federal and state taxation.

 

Business acumen:

 

The further finance professionals advance in the workplace, the more they will be asked to advise upper management, assemble company-wide reports and provide big-picture perspectives. So, business acumen is a must-have skill for CPAs. The better you understand how an organization’s various departments operate and interact, the more successful you’ll be in your current position and long-term career.

 

Presentation process:

 

CPAs must know how to present information in a clear, concise and compelling manner — especially for nontechnical audiences. The key to being a good presenter isn’t reading from a PowerPoint deck, though. It’s persuading and relating to the audience by telling stories, making analogies and speaking naturally. (These presentation strategies are even more important when you’re trying to engage audiences via video conferencing.)

 

Technical abilities:

 

Successful CPAs are the ones who master their company’s software and systems. Developing advanced skills in Excel, the workhorse of almost all accounting and finance departments, is essential. Other in-demand IT knowledge valuable for CPS to possess includes QuickBooks (for small and midsize companies), structured query language (SQL), enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and business intelligence software. Also, it’s becoming increasingly important for all financial professionals to anticipate technological changes in their workplace. Accounting automation and other technology trends are revolutionizing accounting and finance work. To future-proof your CPA career, you’ll want to learn about robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning, advanced analytics, and more, sooner than later.

 

Emotional intelligence:

 

Emotional intelligence — the ability to relate and engage well with others — can also help you advance in your CPA career. A recent Robert Half report on the future of work underscores that “human skills” such as empathy will top the list of vital skills that workers and business leaders will need in the future workplace. However, demonstrating other forms of emotional intelligence, such as empathy, compassion and the ability to understand nuance, is already crucial for success in the current work environment. You can be confident that many employers highly value emotional intelligence and will make a point to look for it in potential hires.

 

Additional auditing training:

 

Most CPAs are well-versed in auditing since it is one of the four components of the qualifying exam. But accountants who are interested in helping companies evaluate their methods and performance should consider pursuing additional training in auditing. Working in internal audit can be a rewarding career, and it is a profession that has been evolving in recent years. Businesses of all types look to their internal auditors to help them increase efficiency, manage risk, evaluate IT systems and business processes, and much more.

 

Management and leadership strength:

 

If you’re hoping your CPA career will one day take you to the management level at a company, or maybe even to the C-suite, you’ll want to take action now to start earning relevant leadership experience. One way to develop management skills is by requesting assignments that put you in charge of a project or team. Also, look for leadership opportunities outside of your organization. Online courses are one option. Also, professional associations can be good resources for learning and development opportunities, and they offer networking opportunities, too. Pursuing other in-demand credentials, such as a master’s degree in accounting, an MBA or a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation, can complement your CPA designation and help prepare you for a financial or business leadership role as well.

 

Career in CPA:

 

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is the highest standard of competence in the field of Accountancy across the globe.
