(Philippians 4:6) You can be a Certified Public Accountant, if you really believe you can. The preparation to become a CPA does not start from the time of graduation (which would probably be too late for the student to cope with the voluminous contents of the CPA exam), but at the moment the student decided to take up Accountancy. The most important ingredient to becoming a CPA is the students strong desire to become one of the Accounting Professionals. This desire must be reinforced and carried throughout all of his subjects. Actual preparation for examination should start from the first day of attendance in classes in college. Reminder/advice given by Mr. Edwin G. Valencia, CPA
