It was built by CPAs forCPAs.

Do Ineed a technical background to earn the CBAP™?

No. The CBAP™ requires no prerequisites and no prior technology background. The curriculum is designed for accounting and finance professionals, not developers. The focus is on how blockchain applies to accounting practice, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance. CPAs with no blockchain experience complete the program successfully.

Why do CPAs need blockchain certification because of the CLARITY Act?

The Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, which passed the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026, establishes a formal regulatory framework fordigital assets in the United States. It creates specific classification rules, disclosure requirements, and compliance obligations that accounting professionals advising clients on digital assets must understand. CPAs who cannot interpret CLARITY Act requirements or apply digital asset accounting treatment under GAAP are increasingly at a disadvantage as clients expand into digital assets.
