| | AICPA - Restructuring |
 | | The AICPA is the national, professional organization of certified public accountants comprised of more than 325,000 members who advise clients on Federal, state and international tax matters as well as prepare income and other tax returns for millions of Americans. | | | In addition, in early 1990, the AICPA jointly sponsored the Invitational Conference on Reduction of Income Tax Complexity which brought together tax policy experts for two days of presentations and discussion of the major factors contributing to the increased complexity of the tax law and possible solutions to the resulting problems. | | | With the renewed interest in examining the complexity of the tax law, the AICPA has again undertaken a major initiative to develop a comprehensive package of tax simplification recommendations to be submitted in early 1997. |

| | AICPA Hops On FASB Bandwagon For International Standards Setting Reform |
| | The standards setting board, in the AICPA's view, should be comprised of "highly skilled, experienced individuals with varied backgrounds including financial statement users, preparers, public accountants, academics, national standard setters, and regulators." The board would set its own agenda and its members would be sufficiently compensated to attract highly qualified individuals. | | | Under the AICPA vision, board members would be appointed by a board of trustees made up of individuals with varied backgrounds. | | | The changes were proposed by a working party in response to criticism that the current IASC structure was subject to political pressures and inadequately funded, resulting in an uphill battle to produce high-quality accounting standards. |

| | The AICPA sought an exemption from the notification requirements because of the stricter requirements of their members’ enforceable Code of Professional Conduct, but the FTC determined that it did not have the authority to grant such an exemption because of the broad consumer protection language of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. | | | Specifically, AICPA Interpretation 301-3 [ET section 301.04] requires that a member take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality agreement) so that the prospective new owners do not disclose any information obtained during the course of the review of the member’s practice. | | | Although the AICPA will continue working for a regulatory or legislative exemption for CPAs, the current law requires you to comply. |

| | » The AICPA’s New Mission |
| | The Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) used to develop auditing standards, until its authority to do so was usurped by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. | | | So the AICPA is embarking on a new mission: to develop a process “to evaluate potential changes to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in order to improve the usefulness of private company financial reporting.” | | | It also used to develop accounting standards through its Accounting Standards Executive Committee (of which I was a member between 1999 and 2001.) No more: after passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the FASB has taken over development of all accounting standards for publicly-traded companies. |
