Hi,
CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is a certification in accounting, auditing and taxation in the US, Singapore, Australia and many other nations.
Its direct comparable in India would be Chartered Accountant (CA) designation offered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
Whatever the designation, the idea boils down to one fact, that it is a degree in accountancy, auditing and taxation.
It is a self study program. However, you cannot take the CPA Exam anywhere other than the respective country. EX- Indian students interested in pursuing CPA from USA are required to go to the US to appear for these exams.
So you can consider doing CA here and then look for jobs overseas. Else if you are okay to move abroad then go ahead with CPA.
