Training and Qualifications



Most management accountant and internal auditor positions require at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. Professional recognition through certification (CMA, CFM, CIA, etc.) or licensure (CPA) provides a distinct advantage in the job market. Texas requires CPA candidates to be college graduates and complete 150 semester hours of college coursework including 30 credit hours of accounting beyond principles of accounting.
