US CPA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The US CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is a globally recognized credential awarded by the AICPA. It signifies expertise in accounting, auditing, taxation, and financial management.
The CPA exam has 4 papers: 3 core exams (AUD, FAR, REG) and 1 discipline exam (choose from BAR, ISC, or TCP).
You generally need a bachelor’s degree in commerce, accounting, or finance. Credit hours matter: 120 credits are required to take the exams, and 150 credits for licensure.
Yes. India is an approved exam location, so you can appear for the CPA exam without traveling abroad.
You can get a free eligibility check with us to understand your credit requirements and licensing options.
The CPA (Certified Public Accountant) certification is a professional credential granted by the AICPA to candidates who fulfill complete educational, work experience, and examination requirements. CPA training, like the one offered by Orbit Institutes in partnership with the UWorld CPA review course, provides comprehensive online classes designed to prepare candidates for the CPA exam. The course equips candidates with the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the CPA exam and obtain the CPA credential through expert instruction, comprehensive study materials, and structured guidance.
While both CPA and CA are prestigious accounting designations, they differ in their geographic recognition and examination structures.
US Certified Public Accountant (CPA):
- Globally recognized, offering international career opportunities.
- It is administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
- Can be completed in between 12-18 months.
- The exam structure includes four parts: 3 core sections: AUD, FAR, REG, and 1 discipline out of 3: BAR, ISC, and TCP.
- The pass rate of CPA is around 45-50% globally.
Indian Chartered Accountant (CA):
- Recognized in India.
- It is administered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
- It typically takes about three to five years to complete, including practical training.
- The exam structure includes multiple levels covering accounting principles, taxation, auditing, and business laws.
- The pass rate of CA is between 5-7%.
In summary, while both certifications offer prestigious career paths in accounting, the US CPA designation is known for its global recognition and faster completion time. In contrast, the Indian CA provides a comprehensive accounting education and is recognized in India and various other countries.
The duration required to complete the CPA course may vary based on individual study patterns, prior knowledge, and the chosen study schedule. Typically, candidates may complete the course in between 12 to 18 months, depending on their availability and commitment to studying.
To pursue a CPA course in India, having an accounting background is essential. If a candidate falls short of the required credits, Orbit Institutes offers guidance on the necessary bridge courses to meet the eligibility criteria. Our expert advisors will assist you in identifying the most suitable path to fulfill the educational requirements for the CPA exam.
Completing the CPA certification does not automatically grant eligibility to work in the US. To work in the US, you’ll need authorization through a visa sponsorship from a US employer. A common visa for accounting jobs is the H-1B visa. Having a CPA can make you a strong candidate for employers seeking skilled professionals, increasing your chances of getting an H-1B sponsorship.
The US CPA course fee in India varies based on the institute, course offerings, and study materials provided. At Orbit Institutes, we understand the importance of financial flexibility. That’s why we offer interest-free installment plans for our CPA course, allowing you to pursue your professional goals without worrying about upfront payments. With our convenient payment options, you can focus on your studies and advance your career with ease.
