Abstract

Despite the growing demand for accounting professionals, many graduates hesitate to pursue CPA certification — a credential that can unlock career advancement and financial stability. This study explores the relationship between job-related predictors and the factors to pursue the CPA professional qualification among accountancy students and graduates. It highlights the significance of understanding how job-related factors drive the decision to obtain CPA professional qualification. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 109 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The study examined respondents' demographic profiles, the level of job-related predictors, the level of factors to CPA professional qualification, and the correlation between these variables. Findings indicate that both the level of job-related predictors and the factors to pursue the CPA professional qualification are very high. Moreover, results confirm a significant relationship between job-related predictors and the decision to pursue CPA certification. These findings emphasize the critical role of job-related factors in shaping professional aspirations among aspiring CPAs.
