There is more to being a CPA then simply passing the test.  Once you pass the test, you are entitled to use the letters after your name.  \n\nHowever, in order to do audits, you must be licensed.  Generally this means that you've worked under another CPA for at least a year in an accounting practice (in Illinois at least).  However, the amount of time varies by state.

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) has completed a college level of study that allows them to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination.  After passing this Examination, in most States a period of about 1 year of experience is required before a candidate can receive a license to call themselves a CPA.  \n\nAn Enrolled Agent (EA) has passed the IRS Special Enrollment Examination (which is not very easy).  A Person can also become an Enrolled Agent by virtue of their experience working with the Internal Revenue Service.

As the previous response indicates, most professors need to have a doctorate (Ph.D.) in their field along with other evidence of their expertise (such a record of publishing research).  \nThe business of a licence or certification relates to particular professional fields where they don't commonly grant Ph.D. degrees.  For instance, lawyers get a JD which is their terminal degree (instead of a Ph.D.) but they would want a law professor to have passed the bar and be licensed.  For an accounting professor, they may be more interested in whether they were certified as a CPA than in the completion of a doctorate.  \nEven in the field of teacher education, advanced degrees such as a Ph.D. or an Ed.D. are usually required in addition to a typical teachers license.

A CPA is a CPA.  When you sit and pass the exam, and are a CPA, that is what counts.  The CPA exam is rather like the Bar.  Many folks do not pass the first time around, and perhaps not even the second.  But when you do pass, from whence you came will matter.

Assuming you're talking about the Canadian version, the CMA is a professional assocation.  They specialize more in cost accounting than auditing or reporting.  If you want to be a cost accountant (in Canada) this is the organization to join.
