A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) must have a bachelor's degree in most states. Several states require that the applicant have have 150 hours of education, which is in line with the recommendations of the AICPA (governing body). Thus, a CPA that is employed by the FBI will have the same requirements as a CPA that works anywhere else; however, the FBI is primarily interested in candidates with a master's degree. The most certain route to the FBI would be CPA with a specialized masters in forensic accounting or computer forensics. I hope this is helpful, and I am a CPA licensed to practice in Illinois.

The old accounting text book defines public accounting as: offering accounting and related services for a fee to companies, other organizations and the general public. The other services can include auditing, tax services and consulting. The certification offered for this type of accountancy is a Certified Public Accountant. The exam is prepared and administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Private (or industrial accounting) is the opposite. Instead of providing services to many clients, a private accountant provides services to a single business. In a business consisting of many accountants, the 'head accountant is typically called the controller. Private accountants may or may not be CPA's. The National Association of Accountants does offer a certificate for private accountants called a Certificate in Management Accounting (CMA). Private accountants are often much more specialized and have to adapt to the needs of their company (controlling costs, budgeting, accounting systems, etc.)
