Program Goals
Professionalization of CAF Finance Officers via CPA Credentialing
Generate CPA-designated CAF members in the shortest timeline, with the least risk and the greatest chance of durable success.
Expand RMC’s course offering to include all of the first segment of the CPA curriculum (i.e. “PREP”)
Where do we stand in the CPA designation process?
To become a CPA, candidates must complete the following education:
- ► an undergraduate degree;
- ► the CPA Preparatory Program (PREP) which represents 15 undergraduate-level courses if not already covered in the candidate’s undergraduate degree;
- ► the three-day Common Final Examination (CFE); and
- ► 30 months of practical experience.
Courses Involved
The 15 courses listed in the certificate represent the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) preparatory courses which are necessary for entry into the two-year professional program. A distance-learning option for each course listed here was created. The contents of the compressed online course and its corresponding in-class course are the same.
