How to apply for CPA?
To apply for a practicing member, you not only need to pass professional and comprehensive examinations, but also need to practice in an accounting firm and have two years of auditing experience. Your firm can apply to the local ICPA to become a practicing member, and the practicing member can obtain the certificate of certified public accountant and enjoy the right to sign audit opinions and issue audit reports. The right to sign is a status symbol for a certified public accountant, who must be responsible for every report he examines and every name he signs.
How to apply for a non-practicing member?
Candidates who pass the professional stage examination and comprehensive stage examination of certified public accountants can obtain a general certificate, and those who hold the general certificate can apply for non-practicing members. Non-practicing members have no right to examine and sign. A wide range of employment, accounting and consulting.
Note: practicing members and non-practicing members can be converted to each other. Non-practicing members want to become practicing members to meet the firm's two-year experience.
Do certified public accountants have to join the club?
Certified public accountants who want to engage in auditing, accounting consulting and accounting services must join the club. Those who engage in special business of accounting firms such as auditing on a part-time basis are recommended to register as non-practicing members, and can participate in continuing education and obtain relevant membership rights granted by the CICPA. The general qualification certificate only means that the knowledge and ability can meet the membership requirements within five years.
Under what circumstances will I cancel my membership?
1. Failing to meet the annual inspection requirements within the specified time.
Many certified public accountant candidates regret the failure of the annual inspection. They finally passed the exam, but they were saved. As long as certain conditions are met, they can submit an application to rejoin and become non-practicing members of the CICPA.
2. Certificate of Certified Public Accountant
If you want to earn some pocket money by connecting with certified public accountants, then I advise you to think clearly about the risks, and finally don't lose more than you gain!
3. Personnel leave
Shanghai Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued a notice and decided to cancel the registration of 20 certified public accountants. The cancellation is due to the resignation of the personnel and no longer working in the accounting firm.
