Does the CPA comprehensive exam require work experience?

Pujiang Finance gives you specific answers:

It doesn't take two years' work to take the CPA comprehensive examination. As long as you pass all six subjects in the professional stage, you can apply for the comprehensive examination next year. The Examination Committee of the Ministry of Finance will issue a general practice certificate for the national unified examination of certified public accountants to candidates who have passed the comprehensive examination.

Certified public accountants are non-practicing members after passing the examination and have no right to sign at this stage. They need to work in accounting firms and other places for 2 years before they can become practicing members and have the right to sign.

After obtaining the certificate of general practitioner, candidates have two career destinations: one is to enter an accounting firm, and after two years of audit experience, they can declare a certified public accountant; Second, if you don't join the firm, you can join the Institute of Accountants first and become a non-practicing member. Non-practicing members have to participate in continuing education after joining, so as to retain their qualifications permanently. Otherwise, the certificate will be invalid after 5 years.
