Which of the following is not a formal requirement to become a licensed certified public accountant (CPA)?

Post by answerhappygod »

A) A college education.
B) Professional experience.
C) Membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
D) A professional examination.
Answer: C
Explanation: The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants requires all of its members
to adhere to a professional code of ethics and professional auditing standards. A CPA may be a
member but membership is not required in order to become a CPA. To become a licensed CPA,
one needs a college degree, successful completion of the CPA exam, and professional
experience, as regulated by each licensing jurisdiction.
