The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is a professional organization for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in the United States. The organization dates back to 1887.
The AICPA creates and grades the CPA examination. It is also the organization that authored many of the original financial accounting and reporting standards included in
GAAP, though
FASB is now responsible for GAAP.
The AICPA’s primary objectives include advocacy on behalf of members, certification and licensing of new members, promoting public awareness of CPA professionalism, recruiting and educating prospective CPAs, and establishing professional standards.
