I live in Illinois and was about to start studying for the CPA Exam in the next couple months. As I am researching the Illinois regulations, I just learned that in the near future they will stop issuing CPA certificates, only licenses which require experience in public accounting.
I have about 3 years of experience as a financial analyst in a corporate environment. I have always considered obtaining my CPA a significant goal as it adds to my credentials within my own company, helps me stand out should I choose a different career path, and boosts my working knowledge of the day to day accounting functions I perform in my current job (managing capital assets/depreciation schedules, balance sheet account reconciliations, etc).
If I am no longer able to call myself a CPA, is it worth putting myself through the exam? Does anyone else that works in corporate finance have any insight into a similar situation? I greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Mike
