Is there a way for people to check other people's CPA exam status? Going to lie about passing one subject to my coach but don't want him to figure it out

Good thing you don't want to be a CPA, with that stance on ethics. Lol

Don't lie, what's the point if you're leaving soon anyway? Either way, people have better things to do than investigate a mundane detail like that.

Why do you care? Just say you didn't pass. That you're studying.

If that's your perspective on ethics you probably shouldn't be a CPA to begin with.

Ehhh it's not that serious. If you don't pass then it is what it is. If you're not interested in passing and don't want to put that out there then just say right now isn't the best time for you to be taking the exams. In my opinion leading with the truth is less headache

So you're just going to pretend you're taking the tests and quit before you're cpa eligible?

Yep I'm planning to quit when I get a new job, which is not accounting related. Some coaches don't often ask their associates about their CPA status, but my coach does it ALL THE TIME. So just want to say I passed one and prepare for the next.

Ehhh the truth has a way of making itself known. My advice is don't lie and say you passed, but it's ultimately up to you!

People fail all the time. They also postpone all the time. No need to lie about it. On another note, I'd still suggest consideration for becoming a CPA. It's highly valued by the business world as a whole. Unless you're becoming a baker, I'd guess it wouldn't help. But there are so many non-accounting jobs that hold the designation in very high regard.

like

Don't do it

Only thing I'd caution is that sometimes coaches are required to communicate this up through hr for tracking purposes / so if you are sitting here thinking 'I'm just lying to one person' - it could be bit more serious than that.

Why would you bother preparing for the next one?

Why not just say you failed? At least it shows you are taking exams and trying. My coach was cool as long as I tried.

I have taken both AUD and BEC twice and failed. Didnt take the third time but don't want to tell them I failed again

In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
