The Uniform CPA examination is conducted by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Professional Accountants), which is the world's largest accounting body. AICPA offers membership to all candidates who successfully clear the CPA exams.
However, given the fact that the CPA license is a professional license in the US, it is issued by one of the 55 states or territories of the United States all of which are members of NASBA (National Association of the State Boards of Accountancy).
