Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CPA certificates and licenses to practice are issued by the States or territories where the CPA meets the specific requirements and qualifications set by the State Board of Accountancy. Each state may have varying requirements for education, experience, and ethics, so it is important for CPAs to research the specific requirements of the state in which they wish to practice. The AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) provides resources and support for CPAs but does not issue licenses. The AICPA Examinations Division is responsible for the administration of the Uniform CPA Exam. The GAO (Government Accountability Office) is a federal agency responsible for auditing government programs.
