This curriculum is intended for people with a bachelor's degree
in another field who want to make a career change to
accounting. The focus is on learning the material necessary to
pass the exam to become a Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.).
Virtually all jobs in accounting and auditing are available to
the C.P.A. The main job a C.P.A. is eligible to do that other
accountants cannot is that of external auditor, which involves
expressing an independent opinion on financial statements
prepared by others. Some public accounting experience is
required prior to certification in some states. The student is
advised to review the requirements for certification as defined
by the State Board of Accountancy. In addition, students should
contact the Board of Accountancy, State of Michigan, Consumer
and Industry Services to receive an authoritative list of
requirements to sit for the C.P.A. exam. |
