CPA

These are the accountants who practice in English-speaking countries. CPAs have certified skills in auditing, taxation, regulatory compliance, and financial analysis. They need to complete 40 hours long continuing professional education (CPE) every year based on the state board requirements.

CPAs work in various settings such as public accounting firms, government agencies, corporations, and non-profit organisations. They also offer services like auditing financial statements, financial consulting, tax planning and preparation, and business valuation. 

There is no such fixed duration as the whole CPA journey is about passing the rigourous four-part CPA exam. But if we have to estimate then many candidates take 6 to 18 months to prepare and pass the exams. Even after clearing exams the candidates then need to gain some 2 years of professional experience. 

The CPA also known as Certified Public Accountant course is basically a globally recognised professional certification in Accounting and Finance which is administered by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

The CPA course covers many different topics such as auditing, taxation, business law and financial accounting.
