What CPA has become and why we need different certifications as well v.04

 I'm just going to get to the point:

CPA if compared to medical doctors is a person who mastered all specializations and could recreated the whole body altogether. So he's an expert neurosurgeon, expert oncologist, expert eye surgeon, expert internist, etc. Accountants who work specifically in procurements, or salaries and taxes, taxes, sales, treasury, etc are like the specialists and there's the intern who's more like a GP. 

Of course they are much less complicated and less stake to deal with compared to the medicine counterparts but as the time goes on the gap is getting closer and closer in different parts of the world / contexts. Pay attention to the distribution as well, the magnitude of responsibility that a CPA must take is much more closer towards that analogy compared to the gap between the lesser more simple encapsulations. So the distribution of responsibility here is getting skewed more heavily for the higher level accountants. 

IASB in my opinion wants to keep the scope of the CPA which I think is fine, however in the business world there are more and more businesses that requires more and more accountants and not all of them needs all the things a CPA should have all the time, but in order to be able to do some of the jobs, many of the jobs, one must be a CPA. 

Moreover the market still thinks that the accountants are just accountants and they rarely distinguish or could comprehend the difference between the professors, masters, and the bachelors. Yes, I'm talking about the payments, some expected more out of every accountants including the regular ones, some expected less from the CPAs. Some need CPAs but don't have the money to because the sizes of their businesses, so increase the demands for the "lesser CPAs". It's getting more and more tempting to be a CPA now but the demand for the quality of the skills required is less. 

We need to legalize some more certifications that are more in between

Edit: (Help)

Accountants deserve not less, but surgeons and medical researchers are grossly-grossly underpaid (although what people could afford are what people could afford). 

So please don't reduce them, it's evil
