What Is a CPA?
So the old joke goes: What’s does a CPA do? Solve a problem you didn’t know you had in a way you don’t understand.
Bazinga.
Now before you roll your eyes thinking you already know what a CPA is and does, hear us out.
Because a CPA’s toolbox includes everything from tax preparation, to financial statements, to financial planning, to forensic accounting, to internal auditing, to income tax, the CPA’s primary function is to help businesses thrive. And while a CPA is an accountant, not all accountants are CPAs.
A CPA is different than an accountant. In fact, anyone who does any type of accounting function - even someone without a degree - can call themselves an accountant.
A certified public accountant (CPA), however, is someone who has earned a professional designation through a combination of education, experience and licensing.
In addition to completing a program of study in accounting, and acquiring professional work experience in public accounting, a CPA candidate also must sit for and pass the KASNEB exam.
The exam itself is developed and graded by the Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board.
After licensing, then and only then, may the person use the designation and present themselves as a CPA.
The CPA exam is tough--intentionally so.
That’s why, in addition to providing a full range of skills, Unikcolors Media Training Institute helps prepare professionals for the CPA exam by providing foundational knowledge required to pass the exam.
