CITP Challenge Objective:
To expand a communication pathway between the AICPA’s CITP Committee and Information Technology Committees at the state level, inform the professional community about the vital role of IT in the financial management process, and the need to recognize CPAs who possess unique IT expertise and experience. The CITP Challenge will give its participants the structure to work together to inform the profession of these objectives through the benefits of the Certified Information Technology Professional Credential (CITP).
Congratulations:
