The CPA Exam
The breakdown:
There are three Core sections, which all candidates must take:
Auditing and Attestation
Financial Accounting and Reporting
Taxation and Regulation
Candidates select one Discipline*:
Business Analysis and Reporting
Information Systems and Controls
Tax Compliance and Planning
You have four hours to complete each section, and you don't need to take all sections on the same day — you can schedule as you’re ready.
*Selecting a Discipline subject will not restrict your career prospects. In fact, it's likely to expand awareness of what you'd like to do post-graduation.
