Part Non / Qualified Accountant Test (Public Practice)

$200.00

The Part / Non Qualified Accountant (Public Practice) Test is designed for those working as accountants, but who are not CPA's. This would include those with tertiary qualifications in accounting, provisional members of CPA or other professional bodies, or those with no formal qualifications but whose work experience and job categorizes them as accountants.

Applicable to USA accounting firms only.

This test assesses accounting knowledge and skills for roles in Public Practice CPA firms.

The test is country-specific to the USA, with annually updated questions to reflect current taxation rates and financial reporting requirements.  If you're looking for a test focused on corporate or company roles take a look at our Part Qualified Accountant (Corporate) Test. 

This test covers four core accounting activities:

  • Financial Reporting
  • Double Entry Accounting
  • Taxation (Federal only)
  • Business Advisory & Analysis

As a recruiting manager, you gain insight into candidate's skills and knowledge in each of these four activities, as well as a comparative overall score and performance against a norm group of other similarly qualified accountants. You can also identify a candidate's performance in the activities most relevant to your vacant role.
