Home | Online Degree Programs | Business Degrees | Accounting Degrees Online Accounting Degree ProgramsRecent corporate scandals involving high-profile accounting firms have not diminished the demand for accountants. As accounting and reporting guidelines have become stricter in the U.S., strengthened by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002, the demand for ethical, knowledgable and bright accountants has not stopped.In the United States, there are three main classes of accountants: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and Certified Management Accountant (CMA). CPAs provide a wide range of services to the public, including auditing, accounting, litigation, tax, and financial advisory services. CIAs generally work in an auditing capacity for employers, while CMAs generally work for employers, but might also serve the public in a more limited manner than CPAs. CPAs are licensed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). In the UK, Canada and Australia, the Chartered Accountant (CA) is the equivalent to the U.S. CPA. Although requirements vary from state to state, to become a CPA requires the completion of a college or university bachelor's accounting degree, typically including 150 credit hours of coursework, and specific courses, usually in financial accounting, managerial accounting, taxation, and auditing. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants and auditors earn, on average, $56,680 a year (May 2004). Naturally, no educational program can guarantee a future salary or employment upon completion, but accredited degrees and certificates are typically required or preferred by employers hiring in this field.
