This exam may be taken by anyone holding SI degree in accounting (equivalent undergraduate degree). Accounting graduate holding degrees may choose to take this exam when he/she want to open a public accounting office in the future. The 'animo' and motivation of accountant candidates are still questionable whether they are interested to take or not to take this exam after they will hold degree in accounting.
