PH CPA eyeing for US CPA
Hi, everyone. There’s been some news that Filipinos can now take the US CPA Examination.
I’m having a hard time fully understanding the requirements as I know no one who has done this or who has any knowledge about it.
I am a CPA in the Philippines and I know that my license bears nothing in the US however I would like to seek out opportunities in the US and leave the PH.
I have the following questions in mind so I can prepare for this journey:
Do I need to take Masters in Accounting or Taxation to get credits in Accounting and Taxation from a US university? Or can I just simply do a self study at home?
If I really need the first one, do you have any idea which universities offer the same in affordable rates? I know there’s scholarships but I’m not really sure that my GPA during my college years would help me secure these scholarships since I focused more in doing extracurricular activities during college.
If it really is the first one, does it have to be an on-site classes?
I’m hoping for your kind answers.
Thank you very much.
