The professional
summit
The ETICPA CPA — Certified Public Accountant — is the pinnacle of Ethiopian professional accountancy. ETICPA is currently finalising the full CPA syllabus. We will publish complete study notes as soon as the official papers are confirmed.
CPA syllabus officially under development
ETICPA was established in December 2025 and is currently developing the full CPA syllabus. The CPA qualification covers approximately 13 papers including globally aligned standards and Ethiopian-specific requirements.
We will publish complete CPA study notes as soon as ETICPA officially confirms the paper structure and syllabus content. We do not publish speculative content — only confirmed official curriculum.
