CPA Forms

The curriculum in the Undergraduate Business Administration Accounting and Auditing concentration provides many of the foundational requirements for professional certification as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA) or Certified Internal Auditor (CIA).

A CPA is a certified public accountant and is licensed by the state. To earn a CPA license in California, individuals are required to demonstrate their knowledge and competence by passing the uniform CPA Exam.
