Positioning and Benefits Statement
What is the CITP?

A CITP is a CPA credentialed as a technology professional and recognized for their unique ability to bridge between business and technology, unlike others holding certifications that recognize only a narrow scope of skills.

Why would a CPA choose to become a CITP?

There are actually ten good reasons for a CPA to become a CITP. They are:

A CITP is a CPA credentialed as a technology professional and recognized for their unique ability to bridge between business and technology, unlike others holding certifications that recognize only a narrow scope of skills.

Only CPAs can be CITPs, further differentiating your unique blend of skills in the marketplace.

Every organization needs a CPA/CITP because they uniquely blend business acumen with IT expertise.

CITP is the mark of excellence for CPA business technologists who are leaders in industry, public practice, government and academia.

CITP gives you the opportunity to move into new technology related roles and opportunities.

CITP gives you access to a community in which you can share, debate, network and communicate with other CPA business technology experts.

CITP elevates the CPA business technologist to the executive level as an integral part of business planning.

CITP affirms your value as an IT specialist and increases your value to your employer or clients.

CITP reinforces the vision of the CPA profession in which IT plays a central role.

The AICPA has funded and implemented significant changes to ensure the success of the CITP Program, and has a new team of dedicated staff to support it.

Why would I, as a client or employer, hire a CITP over a traditional IT professional without the designation?

The CITP designation enhances your confidence as a client or employer in your CITP’s ability to apply both business and information technology consulting skills to solve your unique business challenges. A CITP has passed the qualification processes and meets the professional standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In addition, CITP’s must meet ongoing technology and business education requirements to maintain their designation.

CITP’s have the business experience and specialized knowledge that enables them to:
