What is the CPA
CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant.
Trusted financial advisor who helps individuals, businesses, and other organizations plan and reach their financial goals
The designation is the statutory title of qualified accountants in the United States who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and have met additional state education and experience requirements for certification as a CPA. The Uniform CPA Exam is set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and administered by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). Generally, in most U.S. states, only CPAs who are licensed are able to provide public attestation (including auditing) opinions on financial statements.
All CPAs are accountants, but not all accountants are CPAs

CPA Evolution
The CPA Evolution initiative is transforming the CPA licensure model to recognize the rapidly changing skills and competencies the practice of accounting requires today and will require in the future. It is a joint effort of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
The AICPA Governing Council and the NASBA Board of Directors have both voted to support advancing the CPA Evolution initiative. NASBA and the AICPA are moving forward with implementing a new core + discipline CPA licensure model, and will launch a new Uniform CPA Exam in 2024.
