1
Tip of the Week
There are a number of options for continuing education for accountants. The avenues encompass CPA examination courses, advanced study in general subjects and certificates in accounting specialization areas. If your goal is to become a CPA, you’ll have a choice of some online programs to help you pass the examination available at cpeasy.com, passonline.com, and other sites. CPA exam prep courses are numerous and use empirical data regarding probabilities of questions and subject areas to help target your training directly toward the coming examination.
Specialized areas have become very popular in accounting continuing education, particularly as a result of recent corporate failures which have led to new standards and regulations, like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which specify accounting reporting standards for public companies. Taxation, a critical issue for all companies, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and management accounting are popular continuing education study subjects as more and more senior officers come from the accounting departments of major corporations.
Certificates are very popular and require from six to 25 credits on average. There are a number of designations that can be earned through a certificate program, especially online. For example, Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM), Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) are some of the newer specializations. There are many other options for continuing professional education for accountants. Use your imagination to lead you on your quest.
