What work experience is required to become a CPA after passing the CPA Exam?
Here is the appropriate section from the New York State Education Department (SED) website: “Two years of qualifying experience (full-time or its part-time equivalent) are required for licensure. Applicants who have completed advanced study in an approved accounting program or its equivalent may petition for a waiver of one year of experience. A significant portion of public accounting experience – a minimum of 75% – must be in the areas of auditing services and financial statement preparation; at least one-half of this time must consist of auditing services alone. Full-time employment is considered to be a 5-day, 35-40 hour week, excluding overtime. See the instructions for Employer Form 4b for further detail on qualifying experience.” For more information on New York State’s experience requirement, go to this page: http://www.op.nysed.gov/cpa.htm and scroll down to the “Experience Requirements” section. For other states, you’ll need to visit the board of accountancy in the state in w
