Professionals

Accreditation not only demonstrates proven knowledge and expertise, but also a commitment to continuing professional development with adherence to a high level of technical proficiency and ethical conduct. Your commitment to educating yourself to meet these challenges is demonstrated through pursuit and maintenance of credentials earned through the accreditation process.

Accreditation provides evidence to clients, potential clients and the public that the accredited professional has met the national standard for the knowledge that underlies the accounting and taxation field. Accredited individuals demonstrate mastery of a broad range of knowledge of accounting procedures and practices as well as the field of taxation.

Accreditation being voluntary, the choice to become accredited demonstrates your pride in the profession, the desire to be recognized for mastery of the principles of accounting and taxation, and an ongoing commitment to quality client care. Accreditation can be a means for upward mobility, a condition for employment, a route to higher pay, and a source of recognition nationwide.
