Have examinations credited to the auditing exam
Description
To become a certified public accountant, you must pass the auditing exam. If you have already completed certain examinations in previous degree programmes, your examination will be shortened by the respective examination area (module).
There are two options for the crediting of examinations:
- The course of study from which your examination comes has already been recognized by the examination board. Then all you have to do is submit the transcripts of records.
- The course of study from which your examination comes has not yet been recognized by the examination board. Then you must submit a confirmation of equivalence and enclose the proof of achievement.
The examination body for the auditing examination determines whether the examinations are equivalent.
- Your university and the degree programme are already recognised for crediting or
- The content, form and scope of the examinations you have taken comply with the Auditors' Audit Ordinance and
- The main content of the major or major subject you are taking corresponds to one of the following examination areas:
- Applied Business Administration, Economics and
- Business Law and
- You have completed the examination in one of the two subjects and
- You have completed the examinations in a course of study that began on 17 June 2009 at the latest. If you start your studies after June 17, 2009, no retrospective crediting is possible.
- The main content of the major or major subject you are taking corresponds to one of the following examination areas:
- You have successfully completed the course of study from which the certificates of achievement originate within the last 8 years.
- Certificates of achievement of the equivalent examinations taken in your higher education
- If your degree programme has not yet been recognised by the examination office: the application form completed by your university
- Binding information about the examinations required of you (fulfillment or exemption from admission requirements, crediting of examinations): EUR 50.00
Your application for recognition must be submitted when you apply for admission to the exam.
Registration deadlines:
- If you want to take the exam in the first half of the year: August 31 of the previous year
- If you want to take the exam in the second half of the year: last day of February (28 or 29 February) of the same year
Validity of performance certificates in the case of crediting:
- Not older than 8 years after completion of the course of study from which the certificates of achievement originate. The time at which you submit the application for admission to the auditing exam counts.
The processing time corresponds to that for the entire application for authorisation. As a rule, you will receive admission at least three weeks before the first written module examination.
