WHO WE ARE

From 20 members to more than 12,000, we’ve grown quite a bit in our hundred years! For a century now, NCACPA’s primary focus has been providing superior member service. With guidance from the NCACPA Board of Directors, committees, local areas, and established strategic plan, we continue to successfully serve the accounting profession and community.

We’re dedicated to monitoring changes within the profession and ensuring members receive necessary resources and updates.

To fulfill our mission (of enhancing the accounting profession and the community it serves through advocacy, connections, education, and resources), our 30+ committees, task forces, and advisory groups regularly interact with the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners, North Carolina General Assembly, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Financial Accounting Standards Board, Internal Revenue Service, and other regulators who shape state and national accounting standards.
