AI overview
An accountant is a professional who practices accounting—the management and recording of financial information. Certified accountants, who have passed rigorous exams through their professional associations, are legally authorized to verify an organization's financial statements and can face penalties if they fail to meet professional standards, while non-certified accountants typically work under their supervision or independently on less regulated tasks.
