Reporting

Experience – Reporting

There are the two paths by which a CPA student can gain experience. Both routes have reporting requirements that must be completed by students, employers, and mentors. The two routes are:

• Pre-Approved Program Route (PPR)
  • ​CPABC validates positions in advance as meeting the competency requirements
  • Specific roles are assigned within the company to support PPR candidates
     
• Experience Verification Route (EVR)
  • Experience is regularly assessed by CPABC
  • Supervisors attest to the accuracy of duties reported

A student’s progress is captured through the Practical Experience Reporting Tool (PERT).

This report content is:

• Entered by students
• For PPR, approved by program leaders
• For EVR, verified by supervisors
• Reviewed by mentors
• Assessed by CPABC reviewers

(Program Managers confirm students’ employment at the start of the PPR.)
