Did anyone else get this e-mail from PICPA about becoming a certified information technology professional? Is anyone a CITP, or are you considering it? It sounds interesting, especialy if I can use my college credits. Here is the e-mail:
As you chart your career path, consider earning a specialized credential that will differentiate you at the office. If you have an interest in technology, consider becoming a Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP). The CITP credential is an AICPA acknowledgement of your experience and training in the IT field.
A CITP combines your financial perspective with the business implications of technology. Also, the designation is a great way to expand your role at your firm or organization and to bring more value to your employer. You can use college credit, related CPE, and independent reading toward earning your CITP.
Learn more about becoming a CITP at a free, one-hour webinar on Thursday, Feb. 14, at 11:00 a.m. Jim Bourke, CPA ,CITP, shareholder and director of technology with WithumSmith+Brown, will discuss the benefits and requirements of the CITP.
