Advocate: Protecting the Profession
SCACPA develops and maintains relationships with state and federal legislators so they understand how bills will impact the CPA profession and the business community. SCACPA constantly monitors for threats to the profession, eliminating them in their infancy, and raises awareness of legislation that supports you as a CPA. Likewise, relationships with regulatory agencies like the SC Department of Revenue, Labor Licensing & Regulation, and Department of Employment and Workforce ensure the protection of your interests.
Grow: Securing the Future
SCACPA reaches hundreds of students every year, supporting them along their CPA journey as they pursue the CPA credential and understand the various career paths available to them. From tuition scholarships to exam review discounts, SCACPA works to build a full and qualified talent pipeline.
Connect: Engaging with a Powerful Community
SC CPAs look to SCACPA as their resource for connecting with peers, students, and legislators. In-person opportunities through Chapters encourage local level networking. Two annual conferences bring together CPAs across all areas of practice from every corner of the state. Members receive real-time feedback from peers through SCACPA Connect, a private, online community. The energy from these relationships enriches the Association and the profession.
