Certificate of Accountancy

This certificate is designed for either working professionals or non-accounting bachelor’s degree graduates who are working toward meeting the accounting educational requirements of the Washington State CPA Examination. Additional courses are necessary to fulfill the requirements to sit for the exam. The courses in this certificate are not considered to be an official statement of acceptability by the Washington State Board of Accountancy. Students should consult the State Board's website for specific exam requirements. In addition, we strongly recommend that all CPA applicants complete a CPA review course to adequately prepare for the CPA Examination. See discovercpa.org for CPA Exam review providers.
