Kenneth P. Quirk CPA, MBA, MCP has been awarded the Certified Information Technology
Professional (CITP) designation by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(ACIPA). The CITP designation, established this year by the AICPA, is awarded to CPAs
with significant experience in information technology strategic planning, implementation,
management, and business strategies for information systems. The CPA/CITP servers as
the bridge between management and the technology department, leveraging the CPA's
strategic and business skills.
"Market research reveals that business owners and executives need impartial
guidance in making strategic technology-related decisions," says Gary Boomer, former
chair of the AICPA's Information Technology Executive Committee. "Currently, no
particular professional owns this space. This is where the CPA with the AICPA CITP
designation will provide a valuable service."
Quirk met the requirements to earn the designation, including a CPA certificate,
evidence of his technology business experience and life-long learning activities.
Experience and learning include the areas of information technology strategic planning;
information systems management; systems architecture; business applications and
e-business; security, privacy, and contingency planning; system development, acquisition,
and project management; systems auditing and internal control; databases and database
management.
CPAs who have earned the CITP designation must recertify their accreditation every
three years. To do so, they must document their involvement in technology services
and complete a prescribed amount of life long learning activities during this three-year
period.
The AICPA is the national professional association of CPAs with more than 350,000
members in public practice, business and industry, government and education.
Mr. Quirk is the owner of Accounting Technology Strategies, a member of the Society of
Louisiana CPAs' Technology Task Force, and a faculty member of the University of Phoenix. |
