State Board ReportJanuary 2017This month NASBA’s Legislative and Governmental Affairs Department is launching a new electronic newsletter, Legislative E-News, focused on legislative trends and news of special significance to the accounting profession and its regulators. “With the legislative arena at all levels becoming increasingly important to the health and integrity of the profession, this type of regular communication will provide invaluable opportunities for awareness, unity and mobilization,” explained NASBA Director of Legislative and Governmental Affairs John Johnson. The E-News will complement NASBA’s other governmental efforts currently assisting Boards and individuals, including its bill-tracking and Key Person Contact programs. “Every day we are tracking hundreds of pieces of legislation throughout the country with the goal of advancing our collective agenda,” Mr. Johnson stated. “Information is power, and we believe the more we can discover and share that information, the stronger we are as both regulators and professionals.” See www.nasba.org for this new NASBA electronic publication. Legislation in Guam, Montana, New Jersey and Texas are highlighted in its inaugural issue. |
