THE BALLOTS ARE OUT FOR THE AICPA GLOBAL CREDENTIAL VOTE

The AICPA is giving you until December 28, 2001 to cast
your vote on this important matter. If the vote passes,
the AICPA will be given the authority to enable the
granting of a global credential through a newly created
affiliated entity. This new entity will be known as the
International Institute of Strategic Business Professionals. 

Most of the larger CPA State Societies are urging their
members to cast a "No" vote. In addition, informal
polls indicate that many are opposed to the bylaw referendum.
I have already mailed in my vote of "NO". 

The New York State Society of CPAs summarizes things well:
"The global credential initiative, previously referred
to as the XYZ, will have a dramatic impact on our CPA
profession by decreasing opportunities for CPAs in the
marketplace and by empowering competitors who will be
operating in the same market space. The new credential
could restrict expansion of the CPA profession. This
initiative has also called into question the power
and authority of the AICPA as defined in its corporate charter.
It is imperative that all AICPA members cast a vote in this
bylaw referendum, as passage will have tremendous implications
for the profession as we know it today." 

Find out if your state CPA Society is in support or is opposed
to the bylaw referendum as well as read up on important
information regarding the global business credential.
