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:

  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
