you don't have to, to get an accounting job, but if you want the title, and the letters "CPA" after your name, you need to pass the 4-part CPA exam.

What is an examination in a title commitment?

An Exam refers to the examination of Public Records relating to the property in question. Most states now allow Public records to be viewed online far enough back for Title Insurers to obtain clear title or reveal any title defects that would need to be corrected before the transaction can be completed. There are still states out there though that require someone to physically go to the courthouse and examine the recorded Public Records. Therefore, costs of the exams vary radically. Florida, however, has just determined that the exam should be included in the cost of the Title Insurance and cannot be shown as a separate charge on the Settlement Statement. The examination does not appear in the Title Commitment, so I hope I have provided the information you were looking for.

Can a house be sold without a title?

Title insurance is required in most states. This is not the same as an automobile title. Title insurance is designed to protect the home buyer and the lender. Title companies research public records to determine if a property has liens against it that may put the investor or home buyer at risk.

How much years of collage need to become a accountant?

Accountant is a job title. If your Uncle Bob hires you to keep the books for his house painting business, guess what, you're an accountant. Even if you're still in High School. However, in order to be a CPA (Certified Public Accountant), you have to be certified by the state. Requirements vary, but generally include a minimum of a Bachelor's degree plus an additional year of study (5 years total), plus on-the-job experience, plus passing a special exam. Certain accounting tasks can only legally be done by a CPA (however, a business can have non-licensed accountants who take care of the day-to-day work and bring in a CPA as an outside contractor on a periodic basis to conduct audits and the like).
