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.)

We’ve listed some of the employer resources for the EVR and PPR reporting paths below:
