Need 1 course to qualify for the CPA – which online school should I use? - Page 2

    I graduated in May and am now working full time. I graduated with accounting as 1 of my degrees however ended up taking 1 class less than what is needed due to time constraints.

    I’ve taken advanced accounting courses (pension accounting, etc.), concepts in taxation, managerial accounting, and audit, along with plenty of intro accounting, an ethics course, etc. I plan to take another class in tax online and need a school to take it.

    The one that immediately came to my mind is Phoenix, and the CPA guidelines allow it because it is accredited. In reality, their course is 5 weeks long and I’m hearing that the knowledge gained will likely be minimal and just enough to remain accredited. Is this what others have experienced, and if so, do you have any recommendations on where to take a class from an online accredited school?

    I live in NYC, was not approved to sit for the exam (after I was told by nasba my credentials were good) and now need to take an audit class in order to qualify. TWIST to the plot: My company already bought my Becker software and will expire in 24 months. Therefore I need to complete a course within 6 months to use the full 18-month allotted time frame. Is it possible to find a summer audit course at a community college in NYC or will I be forced to shell out for a phoenix course? Any advice is welcome. Thanks all

    @Broleau11: Try UNA PAPP. They have an audit class, and the course is self-paced. It uses CPAexcel, so you're already prepping for the CPA exam!

    CPA exam: Done!

    Thank You, Lord.
