Cpa

[Rainbow08]

Had committed myself towards getting a recognised accountancy qualification through CPA . Went to one of their open nights , part of the course is that you must gain 3 years work experience. This is going to be impossible for me to do. I was hopin to sit and complete all modules but if you do this and are successful it will be deemed useless unless you have also gained the work experience required. anyone any advice how one can work around this if possible. Regards.

first of all if you sit the cpa exams and pass them you will be a affiliate of the cpa but will not be able to use the cpa initials after your name unless you can get 3 yrs work experience.
if you are working in a accounts field you can get your accountant or the auditor of the company your working with to fill out the requirements for you and apply for membership of the cpa.
nearly all the professional bodies require 3 yrs work experience to be eligable to use there initials after your name.
you can also to the institute of incorporated public accountants exams and i think at the end of it you can use there initials after you name and here is the link to there website
hope this helps you
