International MOU candidates

Last updated in January 27, 2026

Who this page is for

This page applies to international designate candidates currently enrolled through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pathway.

Important: MOU candidates are not eligible to transition under the standard framework at this time.


MOU pathways are governed under separate agreements. Transition pathways and requirements for MOU candidates will be communicated separately when confirmed. Current MOU requirements remain in effect.

Under current MOUs, candidates are required to successfully complete:

  • The Common Final Examination (CFE), and
  • The CPA Practical Experience Requirements (CPA PER)

to become eligible for membership.

Plan ahead: Remaining CFE offerings

There are four CFE offerings remaining under the current CPA Certification Program, and the final CFE offering under the current program will take place in September 2028. We encourage you to plan accordingly.

CPA PEP module offerings

Final offerings of CPA PEP Core and Elective modules are posted on the CPAWSB website.
