The CA / CPA Accountant (Public Practice) Test

The CA / CPA Accountant (Public Practice) Test is designed for candidates who are Chartered Accountant (CA) or CPA qualified members of their relevant professional body, such as CPA, ACCA or similar professional accounting organizations.

This test assesses accounting knowledge and skills for roles in Public Practice Accounting firms (manager level and below).

This test is not country specific. We have country specific tests for USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand - use the flag option in top right corner to access these.

If you're interested in a more industry / commerce related test have a look at the Chartered Accountant (Corporate) Test or the Management Accounting Test. Also see the Part Qualified (Public Practice) Accountant Test for roles requiring a lower level of technical skills.

This test covers four core accounting activities:

Accounting
Financial Reporting (IFRS)
Business Advisory & Analysis
Business Growth & Forecasting

Recruiting managers gain insight into a candidate's skills and knowledge in each of these four activities and identify performance in the activities most relevant to the vacant role, as well as a comparative overall score and performance against a norm group of other qualified accountants.
