UWorld CPA Excel is an Approved US CPA Study Material, as is the Beckers US CPA Package & Review. Both have the similar content of equal quality. However, while Becker’s in India comes with limited access only, whereas WILEY comes with unlimited access as standard. This means with Beckers there are hidden charges for renewal fees everytime your access needs to be renewed. But with WILEY, you own the US CPA study materials till you become a US CPA, with no renewal fee/hidden charges and automatic over the air updates for future syllabus changes.
