If this newsletter was sent to you before September 11th,
it would be very different. You would see information on
topics such as information assurance engagements, like-kind
transactions and wireless local networks. Instead, our world
has been changed forever and for this issue the CPA Update
will reflect that change which requires us to unite, cope,
understand, inform and rebuild.

The CPA Update goes out to those from many countries, and
for those of us in the U.S., we are very grateful for the
generous outpouring of support from the global community. 

A FLAG ON EVERY DESKTOP CAMPAIGN:
In conjunction with CPAnet's sister site, MBA ZoNe, 
the A FLAG ON EVERY DESKTOP campaign has been created
in the hope that everyone far and wide will put a flag
on their desktop. There are many ways we are showing our
support and unity, and although placing a flag on your
desktop may seem like only a small way of showing your
support, you are helping the unification of
millions - one desktop at a time!

Please visit:

for instructions and don't forget to forward this link onto others.
