Membership
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has several membership categories, depending on where a person is in his or her accounting career. They offer student membership. They also offer a CPA candidate membership for individuals preparing to take the CPA exams. The AICPA offers associate membership if a person has passed all parts of the exam but is not yet certified. They also offer a regular membership for CPAs. Alternatively, the AICPA offers memberships for international members and non-CPA professionals.
