Everything you need to know about preparing for your global finance certifications.
What is the structure of the CPA US exam?
The CPA exam consists of four 4-hour sections: three Core sections (Auditing and Attestation - AUD, Financial Accounting and Reporting - FAR, and Regulation - REG) and one Discipline section of your choice (BAR, ISC, or TCP).
What are the eligibility criteria for the CPA US?
Eligibility varies by US state board, but generally requires a 4-year degree (120 credits) to sit for the exam and 150 credits for licensure. Indian CAs, CMAs, and M.Com grads often qualify — we provide a free eligibility check.
How long does it take to complete the CPA US program?
Most PEIX students complete all four sections within 12 to 18 months. You have a 30-month window to pass the remaining three sections after passing your first one.
When and where can I take the CPA exams in India?
The CPA exam is now available year-round (Continuous Testing) in India. You can sit for the exam at Prometric centers in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad.
Is the CPA US better than the Indian CA for MNCs?
The CPA US is the 'Gold Standard' for MNCs and Big 4 firms globally. While CA is essential for Indian statutory audit, the CPA offers much higher global portability and is preferred by US-based global corporations.
