Non-practicing members who have passed the CPA exam indicate that they did not go to the firm to engage in related work after passing the CPA exam, and may have gone to an enterprise company or consulting company or other related industries to become non-practicing members of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
1. Do I need to continue my studies after becoming a non-practicing member?
Both practicing members and non-practicing members need continuing education. According to China's continuing education system for certified public accountants, non-practicing members should participate in continuing education after joining the membership, and the cumulative continuing education for non-practicing members is not less than 40 hours in each calendar year (1 to February 3 1 day 1). Some candidates will ask, I took the CPA certificate, but I didn't engage in accounting-related work. Do I need to continue my studies? Those who are engaged in accounting work should continue their education, and those who are not engaged in accounting work but have certificates should also continue their education.
2. What is the difference between practicing and non-practicing continuing education?
According to Article 9 of the Interim Measures for Continuing Education of Non-practicing Members of China Institute of Certified Public Accountants, non-practicing members shall have a cumulative continuing education of not less than 40 hours in each calendar year (65438+ 10/to 65438+3 1). According to Article 8 of China's continuing education system for certified public accountants, the continuing education for certified public accountants is an assessment cycle every two years. Continuing education received in each assessment cycle shall not be less than 80 hours, and shall not be less than 30 hours in any year. Therefore, certified public accountants have to receive continuing education every year, and their management is more strict. Moreover, continuing education needs to pay a certain fee, which is not free. Because the cost of each province and city is different, I won't go into details here in Bian Xiao.
3. If you have obtained the qualification certificate but have no basic education, how long is the validity period of the certificate?
Non-practicing members must participate in continuous transactions after joining the membership, so as to permanently retain their membership. Otherwise, the certificate will be invalid after 5 years. Everyone must remember this! ! If you don't study hard and forget to continue your education for the certificate, the certificate will be invalid! ! Re-taking the exam, but it will take several years, not worth the loss. All certified public accountants must not forget this matter, and must remember to continue education every year!
