KPMG Audit is excited to launch the KPMG Path to CPA Program! The Path to CPA Program (the Program) aims to expand the number of CPA-eligible candidates through the creation of educational pathways for students to earn the necessary credit hours required to become CPA-eligible.
What is the Path to CPA Program?
The Program provides education, financial assistance, and work experience for a limited number of students who are interested in a career path in Audit but would not otherwise meet the requirements for CPA eligibility in their intended state of employment.
The Path to CPA Program includes:
- Funded education (tuition and fees) for up to 30 credit hours of online courses.
- Opportunity for a winter Audit internship prior to beginning fulltime employment.
- A fulltime Audit Associate position upon completion of the program.

The Program is designed for candidates who:

- Have a maximum of 30 credit hours remaining in order to meet the 150 credit hours/CPA eligibility requirements in their intended state of fulltime employment
