Recognition of Professional Qualifications
Certain US state boards recognize professional qualifications like CA, CS, and CWA, considering them equivalent to 2 years of US education (60 credits). When combined with a B.Com degree, this fulfills the 150 credit requirement for the CPA examination.
Foreign Academic Credential Evaluation
Indian candidates need to evaluate their academic credentials to determine their CPA eligibility for the exam. This involves connecting with an agency approved by the state board where they plan to apply. The evaluation report covers institutions attended, dates of attendance, and individual courses taken.
Selecting the State for the CPA Exam and License
