Registering for the CPA Exam
A good portion of this past week has been spent registering to take the CPA exam in Ohio. The application itself consists of 6 separate pages that can all be completed online. They include:
* “Personal Information” – simple name, DOB, SSN, etc
* “CPA Exam Applicant Questions” -- Total # of credit hrs, GPA, GPA in accounting (a pain to determine if not calculated by undergrad school), and total amount of accounting work experience.
*”Ohio Exam Applicant Questions”— They basically just ask if you have taken the exam before, and any criminal history.
* “Education History”—every place that you have attended college and what degree was received
* “References”-- Must list four separate references
* “Credit Card Info”—the fun part where you get to pay for how many exams you decided to sign up for. If taking all four, it comes out to $963 (App Fee - $140, Auditing - $230.55, Business - $180.95, Financial Accounting - $218.15, and Regulation - $193.35)
