CPA Exam – International Administration

International Administration of the Uniform CPA Examination

In conjunction with the AICPA and Prometric, NASBA provides the opportunity for international administration of the Uniform CPA Examination (Exam) to be offered in India, Nepal, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

The Exam application process is basically the same for U.S. and international candidates. In order to qualify to take the Exam outside the U.S., you will have to establish your eligibility through a jurisdiction participating in the international administration of the Exam. Jurisdictions who do not currently participate in the international administration of the Exam are listed below.

To test in an international location, you must first select a participating U.S. jurisdiction, contact the Board of Accountancy (or its designee) in that jurisdiction to obtain application materials, and submit a completed application and required fees as instructed. After receiving the Notice to Schedule (NTS), you may then use the NTS to apply to take the Exam in an international location. 

Qualified Uniform CPA Examination candidates in participating jurisdictions will have the option of testing at any international location where the CPA Exam is currently offered. Please see the below countries offering the CPA Exam:
