The CPA Exam is a professional credentialing examination composed of four distinct sections designed to test your competency and understanding of various accounting principles. Once you pass the CPA Exam and meet any additional licensure requirements from the state you live in, you may qualify to become a Certified Public Accountant.
The exam itself consists of four separate sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) and Regulation (REG).
