CPA vs CA

amytt

大家好，我是去年底会计毕业的，最近刚找到工作，在一家挺有名的IT公司作AA。今天公司让我考虑一下到底是考CA还是CPA，希望我尽快ENROL。我们这个TEAM里面经理是四大出身，考的是CA，但是我的MENTOR是CPA，现在我也不知道应该考那个比较好。希望大家给点意见，多谢了。

更新：还是决定考CA了，不然怕领导不高兴。请问各位考过的前辈，第一门考哪门比较好。我现在工作是一半ACCOUNTING，一半TAX。但是感觉会计的工作相对多一些。希望大家给点意，再次感谢，嘿嘿。

同找ca mentor，希望谁是的帮我做个mentor

俩者在市场上差不多，但学习负担相差较远。要是想学真知识，就选CA，要是拿一证书混饭吃，又不想太辛苦，那就选CPA。

听说CA的内容要难得多 而且在亚太区很吃香--物以稀为贵

Then CPA is the best choice

2楼的不是不打算读了嘛-_-

oooo

你这样的选cpa就好了，在acctg firm里做的读ca就好了。

amytt

我也是想学cpa，毕竟工作也挺忙得，但是看到经理好像极力推荐ca

oooo

不打算以后去acctg firm，就不需要读ca了

RobF

那倒不是这样说的。这和以后是否去acctg firm无关，和以后发展和对自己要求有关。

公司里的头都是cpa的话，那cpa就够了。

我公司里的头（高级经理以上）都是ca，而且上司也提到过我公司cfo说cpa是为懒人准备的，所以只能硬头皮考ca，期望以后有发展空间

不同意楼上讲法，澳洲的学历及证书都是2，3流的。在亚太也是ACCA/CIMA和 CPA USA 流行。 没人听说澳洲 CPA和 CA啥事。这俩证书也就在澳洲混有用。CA只是矮子中的将军而已。

Oh, really? Then it's hard for me to understand why 2 colleagues of mine who have got AICPA (the CPA USA you are talking about) can only get 80-90% of my pay. Both of them are older than me and having longer working experience of course. I feel sorry for them because they have got "first class qualification" and with longer working experience but get lower pay.

BTW, it's much cheaper to do AICPA if anyone is interested. The only problem is you need to go to "First class country" to sit for the exams.

Last but not least, I think I'm in Australia, aren't I?

您这是纯粹不懂，胡说八道。

CPA美国和澳洲肯定是互相认证的，澳洲现在用的是IASB.not AASB any more.
澳洲会计师公会与美国执业会计师公会 [American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)] 从2000年起已签订互惠执照协议书。该协议可让本公会会员 ( 澳洲注册会计师及澳洲资深注册会计师 ) 于完成美国执业会计师公会之 International Qualifications Examination (IQEX) 考试，并符合其它的学历及工作经验要求后，可成为美国执业会计师公会的正式会员。公会的澳洲注册会计师及澳洲资深注册会计师无须通过其它专业考试，已符合多个亚洲区专业团体之学历资格要求。这些专业团体包括香港会计师公会(HKICPA)、马来西亚会计师公会(MIA)及新加坡会计师协会(ICPAS)。

这个是国际认证的，因为会计准则都相似，不同是各国的税法，公司法，合同法有出入。据我所知，美国的税法要比澳洲的简单的多。澳洲的税法绝对是世界前几复杂的。

晕，怎么冒出这么多证书出来，这不要考死人阿？

Haroldliu

I am also in Australia. But I do not think and never think that Australia is the first class country. either of its education.
Whether or not your certificate is recognised worldwisdely, It depends on people's recognition of that certificate. Not only because someone with that certificate earn less than you, you then can query about the certificate.
I never think that AICPA is good but at least when you are in the market like in HongKong/Singapore/China. ACCA/CIMA or AICPA can work. Who hell knows CA Australia or CPA Auatralia?

Haroldliu

Just forget to tell that Chrisliu. I am also memeber of CPA Australia. That does not necessarily means that certificate is good.Just because I work in Australia, I have to get one.
Whether it is good or bad, it is all decided by market. not by our argument.
I just want to share some information. But do not realise that a lot of people still have such thought that if I get it, that will be the best.

Just because you live in this country, you think this is the best country in the world?Just because you have that certificate, that certificate is the best in the world?
Just shut up your mouth.

Haroldliu

At least I know more than you little RobF.
I am member of ACCA/CICPA/AICPA, CPA Austrlia.
Your stupid nut.

好好说话，别给这个行当的人丢脸

flyspirit

阿丝说的是，有CA, CPA证书的人，不该这么说话吧。

一？怎么吵起来了？

astina

很有意思吗？考试就是考试，一张纸不过就是一张纸，我是ACCA/CICPA/ASCPA，比H同学少一张，还觉得自己考太多了。一张证书打天下的年代已经过去了，职场上看的是综合素质。. 出来行走江湖，动不动就让别人shut up，再多纸也盖不住素质差的事实。

Hey, I dont need you to tell me anything. You are a member of CPA does not mean you are a CPA, only if you got a CPA certification then you can call yourself a CPA. Please be clear of that. If you are really a CPA, prudent is the first important thing. Also to remind you that no one here thinks just to get a CPA is the best, where did you draw that conclusion from?

CPA is just one step of your career, it doesnt mean anything to your work ability and your personality just like ASTINA said. I feel sorry for you and if you are a CPA, I dont think you are really qualified.
