As accounting faculty, one of our jobs is to help prepare students for their future careers. Involved with this is advising them on the correct classes to take in order to meet those career goals. Most accounting programs are designed to focus on the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam while not all students are looking to become public accountants and/or take the CPA exam. Additionally, other students are looking for more specific career goals than just public accounting and the CPA certification is only part of their overall plan. As accounting faculty, we need to be well versed in other certifications beyond the CPA and be able to help students plan out their courses in a manner that would server their needs best. The purpose of this paper is to provide information about the various certifications. This includes information on education requirements, testing requirements and experience requirements. The second purpose of this paper is to help accounting departments map their program against the body of knowledge requirements of the various certifications in order to help students plan out helpful courses. Finally, and example of mapping the requirements for four certifications against the course offerings of Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
