The Board of Accountancy adopts ethics rules, technical standards, and licensing requirements for CPAs. The Board regulates and licenses both CPAs and CPA firms. The Board does not have authority to make judicial determinations, nor do the Board's remarks constitute legal opinion. If, for one of the reasons noted above, the Executive Director determines the complaint will not be investigated by the agency, the complainant will be notified of that determination by mail. This act establishes a strong state mandate in favor of disclosure of public records.
State law allows state agencies to withhold only very limited information.
These exemptions are listed in the Public Records sections of the Public Disclosure Act. Additionally, the Board has a policy regarding Public Inquiries . The information you submit to the Board, including personal information, may ultimately be subject to disclosure as a public record. If the Executive Director determines an investigation is appropriate the complainant will be notified by mail when the investigation is to begin. The Executive Director assigns the complaint a case number and generally assigns the case to the Director of Investigations.
