Protect the Public Interest

An essential characteristic of the CPA profession has always been the protection of the public interest. The profession will not abandon this fundamental element as we move into the 21st century.

Reinforcing the concepts of integrity and objectivity inherent in the traditional definition of protecting the public interest, throughout all segments of the CPA profession, will strengthen business reporting and increase reliable sources of knowledge and information in the broader marketplace.

By remaining one of the most trusted professions, CPAs can work together to provide better knowledge, information, and create healthier economies.
