To earn the CPA designation in the UK, candidates must meet the eligibility criteria set by the AICPA. This generally includes having a bachelor’s degree in accounting or a related field and passing the CPA exam. The CPA exam is a thorough test that covers various topics such as financial accounting, reporting, taxation, regulation, and business strategy. It is designed to evaluate candidates’ understanding and application of these subjects in practical scenarios. After passing the exam, candidates must complete a specified amount of accounting experience and fulfill Continuing Professional Education (CPE) requirements. Additionally, the AICPA mandates adherence to strict ethical standards and a professional code of conduct.
