EThames Business School and Simandhar Education signed an MoU to integrate US CPA and Enrolled Agent pathways into BCom, BBA, and allied programs, enabling students to earn global accounting and taxation credentials alongside their undergraduate degrees

Hyderabad: EThames Business School, Hyderabad, and Simandhar Education, a provider of global accounting and finance certifications, on Tuesday announced signing of an MoU to integrate the US Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Enrolled Agent (EA) pathways into EThames BCom, BBA and allied undergraduate programs.

The partnership enables students to pursue US based accounting and taxation credentials alongside their undergraduate degree. By aligning CPA and EA coursework with the existing B.Com and BBA curriculum, the program allows students to engage with international frameworks during their undergraduate studies rather than after completion.
