Why should I get involved?

To ensure that the accounting profession continues to have a strong presence in Florida’s legislative and regulatory activities, as many individuals as possible must be involved in the political process. A key factor in determining the strength of the accounting profession in Florida’s political arena is the strength of the Florida CPA/PAC.

If we are not helping to elect candidates who are friendly to the CPA profession, someone else will support candidates who may not be interested in protecting the integrity of the CPA license. A donation from a PAC with approximately 18,500 members carries much more weight than an identical donation from a 10,000-member PAC, or even an identical donation from an individual. It’s a simple equation…PAC=CPA. Without support from the PAC, the CPA designation is at risk in Florida.
