The exam is the primary means used by boards of accountancy to measure the technical competence of CPA candidates. The certificate is awarded in the public interest to a qualified candidate in accordance with the accountancy statutes of a given jurisdiction. The certificate is granted to ensure the professional competence of an individual offering services to the public as a certified public accountant. Membership in your professional society will give you the competitive edge you need to continue along your career path to success. The Society serves over 9,500 members statewide and welcomes hundreds of CPAs into its membership each year.
Members come from public practice, industry, education and government.
Headquartered in Bloomington, the Society operates through councils, outstate chapters and a board of directors elected by the membership. Membership is open to anyone holding a CPA certificate. Courses, conferences, luncheons, breakfasts, workshops, forums and roundtables are available to all members at a discount. A slate of diverse and active volunteer councils are the backbone of the Society. Councils cover all areas, from administrative duties to public relations functions.
