It Was Only CPE
 by Ken L. Bishop, NASBA President & CEO
The Idaho State Board of Accountancy trusts our Society. They trust Gwynne Lethcoe, our Professional Education Director. They trust us because we follow the rules. Sometimes we get push back about the necessity of following every rule - to the T. As an ISCPA Member, this dedication is for your benefit and the protection of the CPA profession. Here's a valuable read from a recent NASBA column:

"Ethics is the cornerstone of the CPA profession, so it is appropriate that NASBA invests in the recognition of ethics and provides ethics training and certification to students, business professionals and Certified Public Accountants...
...CPAs have a reputation for integrity and trust. By far, the majority of them do the right things, but we, and the State Boards, exist for a reason.

Not only do we protect the public, but we also protect the important public trust in this great profession."
