Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP)...

A Certified Information Technology Professional ( CITP ) is a Certified Public Accountant recognized for their technology expertise and unique ability to bridge the gap between business and technology. Unlike other certifications that recognize only a narrow scope of skills, the CITP credential recognizes technical expertise across a wide range of business-technology practice areas.

The CITP credential is predicated on the fact that in today's complex business environment, technology plays an ever increasing role in how organizations meet their business obligations, and that no single professional has a more comprehensive understanding of those obligations than a Certified Public Accountant. An increasingly competitive global marketplace has organizations clamoring for new technologies and the capacities, efficiencies and advantages they afford.

While IT professionals have the technical expertise necessary to ensure that technology solutions are properly deployed, they lack the CPA's perspective and ability to understand the complicated business implications associated with technology. The CITP credential encourages and recognizes excellence in the delivery of technology-related services by CPA professionals, and provides tools, training, and support to help CPAs expand their IT-related services and provide greater benefit to the business and academic communities they serve.
