That's a start.  Now you have to get a job and get at least 3 years of work experience working for a CPA or CPA firm auditing company's books, tax experience ect..  Then you have to pass a 4 part test, which inculdes Auditing, Business Law, Taxation and Accounting Theory.

A: The requirements are (1) complete a program of study in accounting at a college or university — the AICPA recommends at least 150 hours of study; (2) pass the Uniform CPA Examination graded by AICPA; (3) obtain a certain amount of professional work experience in public accounting — however, this is not required in all states. A useful resource that summarizes the licensing and regulatory requirements of CPAs in each state is the Digest of State Accountancy Laws and State Board Regulations published jointly by AICPA and NASBA.

Well you could join the work force, or you could get an accounting degree, or an bussiness administration degree.

Congrats on finishing school.  As a former accounting student and the son and brother of CPA's I can only say this.  While accounting and finance careers offer great opportunities for solid financial rewards, understand that success at any profession requires long hours (especially at tax time), diligence, and plenty of continuing education.  Remember also that when you are just starting out you will probably be doing just one thing (financial statements, credit reviews, or some similarly dull function) for a while until you gain experience.  The bottom line is, consider what you would really like to do instead of what you can make the most money at.  If you do something you love you will be much more successful.

You will definately want to get your CPA. I have not seen very many or at all CFOs who do not have their CPA. Either way you mentioned are good. It all depends on your ability to prove yourself after you get your degree.

Firstly, get yourself qualified.eg, registered with US Accountant Association.normally,they will provide some employment info. to you when you are really qualified.\nSecondly,go to those related web site to find one job for yourself,or get some job-hunter to help you if you're sure worth it.

You can give a CPA based on your background. There are four parts to the exam. I guess you know the pattern. Browse their web sites and look for international applicant. My brother is also working on the same thing. There are books from Wiley international that are usually followed. The exams are not very frequent so plan properly. Don't schedule if you are not prepared

Some people have become accountants without degrees and are in practice currently, but that doesn't happen very often any more with more people going to college.  You need a four year degree in most universities to have a Bachelor in Accounting.  If you want to be a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) you need 150 credit hours though.  150 credit hours take most people five years.  You also have to pass a very extensive test that could take you a very long time to finish as it has to be completed in several sections.  Most accountants get their four year degree, get a job, and then work on their CPA certification as they go.  Good luck!  It's a great job market.  Every one needs accountants!

As the previous response indicates, most professors need to have a doctorate (Ph.D.) in their field along with other evidence of their expertise (such a record of publishing research).  \nThe business of a licence or certification relates to particular professional fields where they don't commonly grant Ph.D. degrees.  For instance, lawyers get a JD which is their terminal degree (instead of a Ph.D.) but they would want a law professor to have passed the bar and be licensed.  For an accounting professor, they may be more interested in whether they were certified as a CPA than in the completion of a doctorate.  \nEven in the field of teacher education, advanced degrees such as a Ph.D. or an Ed.D. are usually required in addition to a typical teachers license.

Impossible.  At least if you're going fulltime at a respectable BSchool.  If you focus on Acct, that'll help when you do graduate and begin studying for the CPA.  What MBA progam (full time) only has 3 classes?  I had 7 my first semester.

No, the ACCA is a certificate given to people who have completed certain coursework which allows them to work a s a certified accountant. It is not a degree really.

Each state has its own requirements to become certified.  You can check with your state licensing board for the specifics.\n1.  Education - You need to have a certain number of credit hours of college level accounting courses.  Then you need to pass the exam and have a certain amount of years of experience (1 - 3 depending on the state).\n2.  I took the a prep course.  It was expensive but worth it.  There are a number of different study aids so it really depends on your personal commitment and study habits.\n3. The exam is very comprehensive and difficult.  The pass rate is very low.  When I took it, calculators were not allowed but today they are.  It's an ever changing animal!\n4.  In reality, nothing.  But the perception of the public is that if you are a CPA, you know your stuff.  Today, employers want the CPA designation as a minimum.\n5.  Salary will depend on many things such as geographic location, industry (public or private), employer (large or small) and the position (tax, general).  The potential is great if you are talented and work hard to keep up with the changing atmosphere.\n6.  A CPA specializing in tax will most likely work in a public accounting firm ( and i suggest you get some experience in one...the education is immeasurable.)  Public firms are tough though.  The hours during tax season are long and your social life will be nonexistent.  Some firms specialize in an industry too so your exposure to issues will be concentrated.  If public is not for you, then working for a corporation is possible.  You most likely will be in the HQ office and will have a limited number of issues (unless its a multi national with many lines of business.)  The last is with the government, or specifically, the IRS.  The issues will be wide spread and will be a good learning experience.  The pay is not the tops but the experience will be valuable to take to your next job.\nI've been a CPA for almost 20 years and it's been very rewarding.  I took the exam 4 times and passed all four parts on the 4th time.  Failing it should not be discouraging.  You need to give yourself 5 months of heavy studying and you should be able to pass.\nGood luck.
