Hey,
I am new in this forum and I need some advice regarding sitting for the CPA test.I just graduated college(Bachelor of Science in Accounting from United States) and would like to take the test, I still have not started preparing for it but I will from today!!!
My first attempt would be for Auditing since I want to be an auditor but I do not have any auditing experience whatsoever, do you think that if I sit for the test first and then I started looking for a job relating to auditing, it would work as a disadvantage?
Also, is it possible that I take all 4 sections before August 09 as I only have 120 credits and I am in NY right now, so the 150 credit does not apply or does it??
Any tips or advices is much appreciated as this will be my first attempt to take the test and I finished my school couple of months ago, but I do work in a small company as an Accounting Assistant.
Also in school since I hated my professor whom I took the accounting classes with-I never got good grades and it was hard for me to understand the concepts but I really want to be an auditor and I will try my best and work hard, so please be honest and tell me if I should even attempt to sit for the test since its a rigorous process!!

I believe Delaware still has a two step system. You can sit for the exams (it doesn't matter what state you live in or where you take the exams) with just an Associate degree IF you have the required accounting classes. If you pass all 4, you will be certified but not licensed for the public. To be licensed in another state, you will need to meet the requirements for your state, but having the exam out of the way is a big incentive to proceed forward.

Regarding your question about the 120/150 hour requirement - as long as all your documentation (application, exam fees, license fees, transcript, etc) is in NASBA's hands by 1 August 2009 and that application is approved, you may sit the exam for New York under the 120 hour education requirement. You don't have to pass all the exam parts by August, you don't even need to have sat any exam parts by that date, you just need to have all your application paperwork in. It's only if you apply after 1 August 2009 that you need 150 hours to be eligible to sit the exam.
Don't have any advice about the auditing question, sorry!
