Candidates, did you hear the great news? A few months ago, NASBA and the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) expanded international testing availability of the U.S. CPA Exam to the Republic of the Philippines!

With the increasing globalization of business, many people abroad are interested in obtaining the U.S. professional designation. But first, every candidate must pass the Exam. Since July 1, 2024, CPA Exam candidates in the Philippines can register for the CPA Exam. Prometric will operate three testing centers within the country – two in Manila and one in Cebu City.

“NASBA is excited to expand the international administration of the U.S. CPA Examination to the Philippines. We hope this expansion will result in greater interest in the accounting profession and greater flexibility for testing among international CPA Exam candidates,” said NASBA Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Colleen K. Conrad, CPA.

The AICPA and the Philippines Institute of CPAs agreed back in April to work together to share continuing professional education courses (CPE) and access to conferences and live events. In addition to passing the Exam, candidates must meet education and experience requirements, as well as any additional steps required by their home jurisdictions.
