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.
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.
South Carolina CPAs consider SCACPA their home for connecting with peers, students, and legislators. The energy from these relationships enriches the Association and the profession. From local-level networking to cross-functional connections at Fall Fest and Spring Splash, members develop valuable business relationships and life-long friends. Members also receive real-time feedback from peers through SCACPA Connect, a private, online community.
To help you cut through the clutter of the 24-hour news cycle and overflowing inboxes, SCACPA curates the news for you. Look for daily updates on social media, weekly updates from the “Current Assets” e-newsletter, and insightful thought leadership articles every quarter in the South Carolina CPA Report magazine. These resources deliver the news and content you need to know and arrive when you need them. Additionally, the Association appreciates and encourages two-way communication. Every voice matters, especially yours!
SCACPA’s education goes beyond core curriculum. We present education that is South Carolina-specific and built to make you a well-rounded professional. Wherever you are in your career, our education will help you level up. SCACPA builds educational offerings with a focus on competence over compliance.
