Earn Your CITP Certification

Distinguish Yourself as an Expert in Accounting and IT

The Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP) credential is an AICPA acknowledgement of your experience and training in the information technology field. A CITP helps you differentiate yourself from other CPA and IT professionals by conveying both your financial perspective with the business implications of technology.

Who qualifies for the CITP?

If 15% or more of your total work house over the past five years were in the technology-related areas that comprise the CITP Body of Knowledge and you have continued your education in these areas via training, conferences, or self-directed learning, you will most likely qualify for the CITP credential. Many applicants have technology certifications and advanced degrees that qualify for points on the application as well. If you have a CISA, you already have the 100 points needed to qualify for CITP.
