The requirements to sit for the Texas CPA exam and receive certification are specified in the Public Accountancy Act and administered by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.
If you live outside of Texas, please visit your state’s board of public accountancy to ensure that this program meets your state’s specific requirements.
