A recent American Institute of CPAs（AICPA ）and National Association of State Boards of Accountancy （NASBA ） survey of Japanese U.S. CPA candidates showed that improving skills（68.2% ） and expanding career options（64.2% ） were the main motivating factors for taking the Uniform CPA Exam and becoming licensed U.S. CPAs. Increasing chances of working abroad（39.9% ） or for an international company（34.8% ） were also found to be key driving factors. When asked directly if they wished to work abroad in the future ， a total of 83.7% of respondents said that they did.

The results indicate that the U.S. CPA license is perceived to empower people to better tap opportunities in an increasingly globalized Japan.

Mika Kobayashi of the Japan Society of U.S. CPAs（and a consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata） said ，“2012 was a record year for outbound M&A， driven by a strong yen and an aging and shrinking domestic population. As a global standard accounting qualification ， the U.S. CPA allows people to benefit from Japan ‘s current push for international economic growth.”

Further backing this analysis ， the results show that 84.2% of those surveyed agree or strongly agree that the CPA license is becoming more valuable in the job market， with 68.0% seeing it as more valuable than other accounting credentials. As to the benefits of holding the U.S. CPA，70.4% said it improves professional ability ， 57.3% felt that it improved self-confidence ， while 52.9% saw it as demonstrating English language capability.

Colleen Conrad， CPA“The U.S. CPA is the Gold Standard qualification in accounting ， and demand for professional accountants is increasing worldwide ，” commented NASBA Executive Vice President & COO Colleen Conrad. “Beyond accounting ， the qualification opens up career paths in diverse fields as management consulting. And the number of Japanese candidates is increasing– Japanese citizens account for approximately 60% of all international candidates.”
