As the name implies, AICPA is a certified public accountant in the United States and CICPA is a certified public accountant in China.

Difference:

1. AICPA is an English test, while CICPA is a Chinese test plus an English test.

2. Different subjects: AICPA only takes 4 subjects, which are divided into financial accounting and reporting, laws and regulations, business environment, theory and auditing.

CICPA 5, accounting, financial management, economic law, tax law and audit.

3. The cycle is different: AICPA adopts computer examination, and there are four Windows every year, and each Window lasts for two months. Usually, it takes four to six months to get the qualification. CICPA takes the exam once a year, and there is no restriction on the subjects to be entered, but it will take two or three years to pass the exam.

4. Different scope of application: AICPA is used in US GAAP. CICPA applies CHINESE GAAP.

AICPA costs about 3, RMB, CICPA enrolls in 65 yuan, and the training fee is also cheap. Online schools generally take 2 yuan as a subject, while on-site classes take 8 as a subject.

With China's entry into WTO, China's economy is more internationalized, and China's companies are developing in the United States, AICPA's awareness in China is getting higher and higher, and it is a very practical qualification for international certified public accountants.

difficulty I think CICPA should be more difficult.
