CPAs and Accountants. Do You Know the Difference?
CPAs and accountants
have the same goal in mind - ensuring the truthfulness of financial information.
So, what is the difference between the two?
The most sought
after, influential and esteemed positions come with three letters attached -
CPA.
Simply stated, people
involved in the profession know the rigorous standards that must be met in order
to gain the privilege of writing CPA after your name. Not only do CPAs pass the CPA
Exam and gain real world experience to earn their designation, they
also take 120 hours of continuing professional education (CPE) every three years
to ensure they remain on top of the changes influencing the CPA
profession.
Companies understand
hiring a CPA is a sure-fire formula for success!
