I posted this in the Work Experience forum but since there weren’t any replies for a while, thought I might give it a try in the main forum! Any responses would be appreciated, thanks! 🙂

I’m currently studying for the CPA exam and have not fulfilled any of the work experience requirements yet (planning on Pathway 2, so just need 1 year of experience), but am planning on working in Corporate Finance (not sure which area in particular yet) and felt that passing the CPA exam would be useful. I was wondering if anyone has fulfilled the work experience requirement by working within Corporate Finance, and which groups in particular help satisfy that requirement (assuming you work under a licensed CPA of course)?

I assume that groups like Accounting, SEC Reporting, Tax, and Internal Audit would definitely qualify… but what about groups such as FP&A, Mergers & Acquisitions, or Treasury? Please share your experiences, thanks!
