Following Your Lead …. Your Voice in the Political Process

TSCPA supports sound licensing standards and strong ethical behavior for CPAs. Based in Austin, TSCPA’s Governmental Affairs volunteers and staff give important input to legislative and regulatory officials on behalf of CPAs. Governmental Affairs provides the opportunity for CPAs to be actively involved in the legislative and regulatory process. Staff and volunteers combine to provide effective advocacy for CPAs in Austin.

The program includes support of legislative candidates who are sensitive to professional issues. The CPA-PAC provides candidate financial support and all CPAs are encouraged to contribute.
