Where else you can go

Routes many people do not think of straight away. Every statement names source and date; what is missing reads “not documented yet”.

  • Becoming a certified public auditor

    You audit companies and help prepare audit reports. For that you need the public auditor exam.

    Why you fit

    Your tax adviser exam counts: the shortened exam drops tax law.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Tax advisers can take the exam in shortened form; the written and oral tax law exams are dropped (§ 13 WPO).

    Your next step: Ask the examination office of the Wirtschaftsprüferkammer which admission requirements you still need to meet.

  • Accredited master's route to the auditor exam

    You study a master's programme aimed at the auditor exam, part-time or full-time. Afterwards you sit the exam with fewer parts.

    Why you fit

    You have tax practice; business administration and commercial law exam parts are often what you lack.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    After a master's programme accredited under § 8a WPO, the written and oral exams in applied business administration, economics and in business law are dropped; exam results from other programmes are credited under § 13b WPO if they are equivalent in content, form and scope.

  • Specialist title in international tax law

    You advise on cross-border matters. You use the title together with your professional title.

    Why you fit

    Your advisory cases count as proof of practice.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    The tax adviser chambers award the title under the Fachberaterordnung of the Bundessteuerberaterkammer: a certified course with three exams, proof of practical cases in the field, possibly a technical interview. Annual training is required afterwards; without proof the title can be revoked.
