How We Make An Impact
NCACPA strives to represent the profession’s interests in areas of public policy formation, standard-setting, and rule-making that impact our members, the accounting profession, and North Carolina’s business climate. Through the NC CPA Political Action Committee, we identify and support the election of candidates for state office who share our viewpoint on policy issues important to the profession.
From the North Carolina General Assembly to Capitol Hill, NCACPA works to influence change that advances the CPA profession and our state’s business climate.
NCACPA’s Guiding Principles for Public Policy outlines the core philosophies that shape our advocacy efforts. These principles serve as a framework to guide our positions on critical public policy issues affecting the accounting profession and the broader business community.
