CPA Ambassodors

The CPA Ambassador Program is a community-based media and public speaking program presented entirely by CPAs to diverse audiences throughout the United States. As representatives of the profession, members highlight the contributions, expertise, and integrity of the CPA profession. The program aims to focus attention on the value of the CPA profession, one community at a time. The AICPA is working with several state CPA societies to initiate this program over the next year.

Launched by the AICPA in cooperation with state CPA societies, the CPA Ambassador Program offers members access to top-quality spokesperson and media training, as well as extensive background tools. Each CPA who participates in the program is trained in four critical message quadrants that will help reintroduce the CPA profession to the American public:

  • Restoring confidence in the CPA profession and American business
  • Financial literacy
  • Student recruitment
  • Partnering with small business for success

CPAs also have the opportunity to emphasize the CPA profession’s commitment to battling fraud, improving auditing standards and quality, and shoring up small businesses that represent the primary economic engine of this country.

Member volunteers who step up for the CPA Ambassador Program are the most essential asset of the profession’s grassroots reputation-building campaign. Accordingly, their contributions will be recognized in numerous ways. After participation in the training program, CPAs who put their learning into practice and take on two spokesperson opportunities or media interviews earn a special CPA Ambassador pin and have their names and speaking engagements cited on the AICPA’s website. As the program matures, new and exciting ways will be developed to further acknowledge the great contributions these volunteers are making to their communities and to the CPA profession.
