CPA and CFA® requirements
Hi,
I'm planning to take both CPA and CFA®...
According to the research that I did, it seems that CFA® doesn't have as many requirements as CPA. Is it true that you only need to have a bachelor's degree to take the CFA® exams?
As for the CPA, I currently have 10 semester units of accounting from a 4 year university and 6 semester units from a community college. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I would need to have 24 accounting units to take the exam right? That means I'm 8 units short. Can I take those 8 units in a community college? Are there any community colleges out there that offer Audit and Tax classes?
Since I majored in Business, I think I already have 24 units of business-related subject...
It also seems that I need to have 2 years of general accounting work experience supervised by a CPA -- Do I need to have this first before taking the exam or can I take the exam first and fulfill this later?
I am working in corporate finance field so I don't know if this counts as "general accounting work"
Thanks folks!
I believe that for the CPA you would only need that work experience to actually complete the qualification, otherwise how would Big4 companies hire graduates and enrol them into the CPA qualification....
