I come from an Economics background and I am studying towards the CPA qualification. I am constantly anguished about the CPA being enough to for me to land a job in Accounting because employers often require a bachelor of Accounting/Finance and a CPA is described as an asset. Are there any answers that I can take heart by?
Does a CPA supersede a Bachelor in Accounting?
Answers
One is an academic credential, the other a Government (usually) issued certification/license.
In most (if not all) states a 150 credit hour BS of Accounting or a Bachelor's and a Masters degree in Accounting are required to sit for the CPA exam.
It is sort of the chicken and the egg conundrum.
