I don t have good basic knowledge, which ones should I take first?

It is suggested to start with the intermediate difficulty of "Accounting", and financial management and auditing should be based on accounting. Tax law, economic law, and corporate strategy are relatively simple among the six categories. I personally suggest that if you pass the accounting, financial management, auditing, and tax law, many firms will accept you, and the pressure will not be so great in the next few years.

If you take the easiest test first, you may have the impression that "the exam is not that difficult", but as the difficulty of the later subjects increases, you may become more and more unable to endure it, so that you are likely to give up in the end. Matching the simplest subjects with the difficulty of auditing and financial management will make it easier for you to prepare for the exam later. In fact, this exam should not be judged by the pass rate alone, there will be many people in each subject who have registered, but when it comes to the exam, because they are not prepared or unprepared, they will not go to the exam, and the exam room is often very empty (the absence rate is very high), which will reduce the pass rate.

In other words, the pass rate of each subject is not only affected by the difficulty of the subject itself, but also by the absence rate of the subject to a large extent, and the absence rate is often uncertain.

Let's start with the rare, start with the accounting, first difficult and then easy, or a combination of difficulty and ease, one difficult plus one less difficult.

Financial regulations are relatively easy.

Note: There are 6 courses: Accounting, Auditing, Financial Cost Management, Economic Law, Tax Law, Corporate Strategy and Risk Management.

Among them, the most difficult and the lowest pass rate are accounting and auditing; Relatively simple is economic law and strategic risk management.

It is recommended that you start with the easy and then the difficult

Let's start with simple economic law and strategic risk management.

Study the intermediate level first, and then take the exam after passing the intermediate level.

1. There are a total of 6 exams, namely: "Accounting", "Auditing", "Financial Cost Management", "Tax Law", "Economic Law", "Corporate Strategy and Business Management".

2. It is recommended to learn accounting and auditing first, accounting is the foundation, auditing is the key, financial management is the difficulty, tax law is the prerequisite, and economic law is more transcendent.

3. The audit work revolves around the accounting work of the enterprise, and after getting the certificate, the audit is a hard skill to work in the firm. CPAs must be "certified" and require strong auditing skills.

4. Accounting and auditing are known for their difficulty, and financial management is known for their calculations, financial management and auditing require accounting foundation, and the requirements for the understanding of notes are also very high.

5. Tax law, economic law, and corporate strategy are easier than the other three subjects.

The CPA exam requires passing 6 subjects within a 5-year validity period, and candidates can apply for 2 or 3 subjects at a time, and strive to pass all of them in 2 to 3 years, which is better.

The CPA exam is divided into a professional stage and a comprehensive stage, and only those who have completed the subjects of the professional stage and section can take the comprehensive stage of the exam.

The results of the six subjects of "Accounting", "Auditing", "Tax Law", "Economic Law", "Financial Cost Management", and "Corporate Strategy and Risk Management" are valid for 5 years.

Examination subjects in the comprehensive stage: "Vocational Ability Comprehensive Test (Paper 1)" and Vocational Ability Comprehensive Test (Paper 2), both of which need to be passed in the same year.

According to the time and energy spent on preparing for the exam in the past, as well as the examination experience, the approximate difficulty of these six subjects is ranked as follows: Accounting, Auditing, Financial Management, Tax Law, Strategy, and Economic Law. It is recommended that candidates who do not have a lot of time apply for 2 or 3 subjects at a time, and strive to pass all of them in 2-3 years.

Fresh graduates with sufficient time and strong learning ability can choose to apply for more than 4 subjects and quickly clear the customs in 1-2 years.

Financial cost management: Financial cost management is biased towards science, involving a variety of formulas and complicated calculations, so you must be careful and patient.

Tax Law: Tax law is a relatively simple of the six subjects, but it is only relatively simple. For zero-based candidates, it is all brand new content, and it is still difficult to learn. Policy reform, in particular, should not be taken lightly.

Strategy: This is a relatively modest subject, but if you are already messy or have low energy, you may want to start with it.

Economic Law: This is a subject that relies on memorization and memory, as long as you memorize and review diligently, there are always traces to follow, so this subject is a relatively simple old sedan tour. As long as you master the memorization skills and plan to study, you can do it.

In general, we recommend that candidates complete the six courses in the professional stage within two to three years, if you consider employment planning, the goal is that the accounting and auditing of the firm is the key subject, the goal is the accounting and tax law of the enterprise is the foundation, and the difficulty of the six courses is roughly accounting, auditing, financial cost management, tax law, economic law, corporate strategy and risk management.

In general, we recommend that candidates complete the six courses in the professional stage within two to three years, if you consider employment planning, the goal is that the accounting and auditing of the firm is the key subject, the goal is the accounting and tax law of the enterprise is the foundation, and the difficulty of the six courses is roughly accounting, auditing, financial cost management, tax law, economic law, corporate strategy and risk management.

The subject collocation recommendations are as follows: if you plan to take two subjects a year, you can choose accounting and auditing in the first year, because these two subjects are related to each other and have moderate difficulty; If you plan to take three exams a year, you can combine accounting, tax law and economic law, which has been tested by some candidates and is relatively reasonable.

The biggest feature of the note exam is that there are many subjects, the content is complicated, and the difficulty is very large. Although you can apply for all six courses at a time, the test for zero foundation is too big, and if you are not a full-time exam, it is not recommended to apply for six courses at a time. It is recommended that you have no foundation at a time, and it is best to apply for 2 or 3 courses at a time, so that you can pass the professional stage within 3 years.

Extension: Certified Public Accountant.

Certified public accountant refers to the person who has passed the certified public accountant qualification examination and obtained the certified public accountant certificate to practice in an accounting firm, the full name of English is Certified Public Accountant, abbreviated as CPA, and the subjects of the CPA examination are "Accounting", "Auditing", "Financial Cost Management", "Economic Law", "Tax Law", "Strategy and Risk Management".

Internationally, accountants generally refer to certified public accountants, which refers to professionals engaged in social auditing, intermediary auditing, and independent auditing, and in some other countries, such as CGA in Canada, AICPA in the United States, CPA Australia in Australia, and ACCA, rather than accountants with intermediate titles in China.

In fact, every year, there are many zero-based candidates who are attracted by the gold content of the note, but they are entangled because of the difficulty of the note and the long preparation period, in fact, as long as they find the right way, zero-based candidates can also successfully pass the customs.

1. Zero-based preparation should start with the foundation of accounting

For completely zero-based beginners, it is difficult to learn the textbook at the beginning, so it is better to learn the basic content of accounting clearly before officially starting to learn CPA. Generally speaking, you can use the textbooks of the first year of accounting, but the easiest way is to follow Mr. Zhang Zhifeng's basic accounting course, and only after mastering these foundations can you prepare for the professional stage more smoothly.

2. Zero-based application should pay attention to the collocation between subjects

After all, in the case of 6 subjects in 5 years required in the professional stage, at least two subjects must be applied for every year. In fact, the choice of subjects is related to the candidate's own foundation and study time, accounting as a compulsory subject is to be studied in the first year, followed by tax law, economic law, financial management are better matched with accounting subjects.

3. What are the learning methods that can be selected for beginners?

1.Textbook + Lectures.

This is a relatively common way of learning, and it is still very difficult for self-learning for zero foundation, and following the tutorial course can find the right direction and clarify the goal. The questions are based on the official textbooks, so the textbooks are the foundation of CPA preparation.

2.Textbook + easy pass + tutorial course

Candidates who adopt this type of learning method are people with strong self-discipline and sufficient study time, and candidates who are willing to take the initiative to study will have a higher chance of passing the customs than other candidates. I believe that everyone is very familiar with the series of tutorial materials "Easy Pass", which can help you explain the difficult test points clearly, guide the correct direction of preparation for the test, and analyze the important test points according to the exam situation in recent years.
