here's a different take on things: in addition to college credits that most accountants have to take, certified accountants have completed a certain amount of compulsory time in their field and have passed an exam to become certified. whether it is! auditing, internal audit or otherwise, many employers view certified accountants as more experienced and versatile. they tend to hold higher than entry level positions and may have career aspirations of being a CFO someday, whereas an uncertified accountant may spend many years trying to climb the ladder at an organization. SIMPLY PUT, they are better equipped to handle high level/challenging situations, due to the fact that they have a broader exposure to accounting through studying and work experience, which enabled then to get certified.

Most accountants are certified accountants. There is not a big difference in educational background, but most accountants get certified because it is an important credential that shows your competency in accounting. In other words, accountants get certification to order to be more competitive when seeking jobs.
There are many different types of certification. The most popular is a Certified Public Accountant--there are 450,000 active CPAs in the United States, and to obtain the certification, the accountant needs to pass an exam, which is known to be quite difficult. Other types of certification include CMA (Certified Management Accountant), CIA (Certified Internal Auditor), and CGFM (Certified Government Financial Manager).

Most Big 4 accounting firms do not promote employees to a manager level until they are a CPA. Also, only CPA's can sign audit opinions. If you are looking to have a career in public accounting, a CPA is a necessary certification to have.

Regular Accountant means the accountant established and maintained only to record and sometimes manage the allocated Employer's Regular Contributions to the Fund, and all gains and valuations on them, minus any withdrawals and any losses and expenses charged to them.
