    In the accounting industry, CPAs are recognized as the most difficult exams, with an average annual pass rate of only about 15% to 20%. Let's take a look.

    1. Candidates' own reasons:

    1. Lack of concentration in review. Many people are squeezing time to prepare for exams after work, which has many distractions and low learning efficiency;

    2. Lack of motivation to learn. With the exception of those who are demanding of themselves, there is no reason why the CPA exam must be passed for the vast majority of candidates;

    3. And the most important point is that many people do not have a good understanding of the industry itself. Most candidates, whether they are recent graduates, grassroots financial workers, or even those who have been auditing for several years, still do not know much about the meaning of the existence of CPAs, the content of their work, and the knowledge and logic that need to be used.

    2. As far as the CPA itself is concerned:

    1. There are many knowledge points.

    The examination is divided into six exams in the professional stage and one exam in the comprehensive stage, for a total of seven. If you only read textbooks, you can't get through it at all, and you need at least a tutorial book. 595 pages of accounting textbook and 552 pages of tax law.

    The two subjects have a total of 2,200 pages. On average, six subjects are 6,600 pages. Suppose you read a book at a speed of 8 pages per hour, that would be 825 hours, and in the process of studying, you would not only have to read the book, but also listen to the lecture materials and do exercises.

    In this way, at the most conservative, you will need 1000+ hours to complete the professional stage.

    The above is still in the case of your preparation for the exam, but in the actual preparation for the exam, we often encounter some unexpected situations.

    2. The examination cycle is long.

    The CPA exam textbook is generally released around April, and the CPA exam is in October, which means that you have six months of revision time, and on average you need to study for several hours a day. It is rare to pass the professional stage in one year. Even if you have enough time to study, let's pass the professional stage in 2 years.

    Because there is also a comprehensive stage, it will take you three years to get this certificate in the most successful way.

    According to statistics, in addition to the primary accounting exam, the CPA CPA exam can be said to be the accounting title exam with the most people taking the exam every year. So the question is, why do so many people take the CPA exam? Is his exam difficult?

    Is the CPA exam difficult?

    Regarding this issue, to tell the truth, in fact, the CPA exam can be said to be the most difficult compared with the domestic primary accounting, intermediate accounting and other professional title exams.

    And in terms of exam cycles, CPA is a relatively long exam. It is important to know that the CPA exam is divided into two stages of exams, professional and comprehensive, and candidates must pass six exams in the professional stage within 5 years to be eligible for the comprehensive stage exam. For top students, it takes at least 2 years to pass the CPA exam at one time.

    According to the data of candidates over the years, most candidates need to prepare for at least 3-4 years before they can really win the CPA general exam.

    Why do so many people apply for the CPA exam?

    Since the CPA exam is so difficult and the pass rate is so low, why do so many people still apply for the exam every year?

    1. In terms of the difficulty of the examination of core subjects, ACCAs cannot be compared with CPA, and even the difficulty of the accountant title examination is far from the difficulty. The difficulty of the ACCA exam is based on the difficulty of the UK university degree examination, specifically, the first.

    The difficulty of the first and second parts is equivalent to the difficulty of the examination of the upper year of the bachelor's degree, and the difficulty of the third part of the examination is equivalent to the examination of the final stage of the master's degree. Each exam in Part 1 tests the knowledge contained in the course and focuses on laying the foundation for the theories and skills to be applied in the practical courses in the latter two parts. In addition to the content of this course, the second part of the exam will also test some knowledge of the first part, focusing on developing students' analytical skills.

    The third part of the exam requires students to apply the knowledge, skills and decisiveness they have learned. In addition to the content of previous courses, students will also be tested in adjacent subjects.

    2. From the perspective of professional extension, ACCA is much more extensive than CPA. ACCA has certain requirements for English because all the test questions are in English. Generally, you can pass the CET-4 test, and you can make up some test-related vocabulary, of course, it is recommended to have a level of 6.

    For those who are good at English and have a penchant for management, you can give it a try.

    3. The pass rate of CPA is strictly controlled at about 15%, and many people cannot pass the exam for a long time. ACCAs have to pass 14 exams, and the global pass rate of a single subject is basically about 30-40%, and the pass rate of Chinese students is 50-60%.

    It's not difficult, but it takes extraordinary perseverance.

    Certified public accountant (CPA) refers to professionals engaged in social auditing, intermediary auditing, and independent auditing in other countries, such as CGA in Canada, AICPA in the United States, CPA Australia in Australia, and ACCA. Internationally, accountants generally refer to certified public accountants, not accountants with intermediate professional titles in China. The CPA exam subjects are "Accounting", "Auditing", "Financial Cost Management", "Economic Law", "Tax Law", and "Strategy and Risk Management".

    By the end of 2014, a total of 10,000 people had obtained a general certificate.

    The Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is a licensing exam for the accounting profession. Founded in 1988, the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants is a national association under the leadership of the Ministry of Finance and the only accounting practice group in China. Since 1991, China has implemented a unified national examination system for certified public accountants.

    It has been held annually since 1993, and was adopted at the Fourth Session of the Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress on October 31, 1993, promulgated by Order No. 13 of the President of the People's Republic of China on October 31, 1993, and came into force on January 1, 1994. By the end of 2010, nearly 10,000 candidates had passed all the exams, and about 350,000 CPAs were needed in China. Those who have graduated from a college or above, or have an intermediate or above technical title in accounting or related majors, can participate in the national unified examination for certified public accountants.

    Note: It provides convenience for overseas professionals to participate in the Chinese Certified Public Accountant Examination, and provides an important mechanism for attracting industry professionals to join the Chinese Certified Public Accountants team on a global scale and improving the overall service ability of Chinese Certified Public Accountants.

The syllabus of the examination adopts the 2006 National Unified Examination Syllabus for Certified Public Accountants issued by the Certified Public Accountants Examination Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China.

    Difficult. It's really hard. The whole thing is a metaphysics...

    There are no teachers... Don't try to read ... Especially audits.

    What can be said clearly in one sentence, it has to be said in five or six sentences... Purpose: To make the expression free of loopholes...

    It is recognized that CPA is difficult. It can be regarded as the most difficult domestic exam. There's a saying that CPA can't do anything for accountants (except signing) but nothing can be done without CPA. It's an exaggeration, but it's true.

    The exam is not very difficult and requires a certain element of luck. I am currently in this small office, I work 6 hours a day, and in the second half of the year, I will play, and I can ask for leave and not come to work if I have something, it will not affect me. The average salary is 1,500 a year, which is really low compared to other firms.

    There are about 2,500 in municipal cities and about 3,000 in provincial capitals. Many offices include a lunch at noon. This is the salary of an assistant, if you have passed the examination but do not have the ability to lead a team out to do an audit independently, then at the assistant level, the salary is the same as that of an assistant.

    If you can go out and lead the team to do business, then the salary will be doubled immediately, it should be the current salary * 2 + + + that is, in the county-level city 5000 ++, the city city 6000 +, the provincial capital city 6000 + look, this depends on your business level and your firm has not enough business for you to do! ~

    Tired or not? The CPAs in our firm were indeed a little tired in the first half of the year, but my colleague used to intern in the city-level city, and the CPAs did not have to work overtime, so to speak, they were not tired! ~

    CPA is just an excess, and it is of great help to go to the corporate financial high-end! ~

    During the transition period, I believe that it may be, but I will say a word of conscience, a certified public accountant has worked hard for more than 10 years to pass the exam, 12 hours a day, 1,000 yuan a month, and I will not do it. I don't know what this boss thinks.
