Abstract
This research was conducted to determine if there is a significant relationship between academic performance and the CPA Licensure Examination performance of the Accountancy graduates who took the CPA Licensure Examination in the years 2016-2019 from colleges and universities within Cavite. The results of the study would help accountancy students and those who aim to enter this field. This research uses chi-square test distribution to identify the relationship between academic and CPA Licensure Examination performance of the respondents. Results showed that there is no significant relationship between academic performance and the CPA Licensure Examination, which means that the scores of the respondents on the CPA Licensure Examination are independent of their academic performance. Meanwhile, there is a significant relationship between academic performance and CPA Licensure Examination results, implying that academic performance and CPA Licensure Examination results are related. Academic performance has a significant relationship to CPA Licensure Examination performance. Since the null hypothesis is rejected in all academic subjects, it implies that academic performance and CPA Licensure Examination results are correlated with each other.
