Experts Discuss Fiscal Responsibility at VSCPA Town Hall Meeting

The Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants (VSCPA) held a Fiscal Responsibility Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday at the CPA Center in Glen Allen.

Approximately 80 people attended the event, including Del. Chris Peace (R-Hanover).

Speakers were American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) Chair Gregory Anton, CPA; U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) Director for Intergovernmental Relations Stanley Czerwinski; Clifton Gunderson LLP Senior Advisor for Public Sector Services Edward Mazur, CPA; Virginia Tax Commissioner Craig Burns; VSCPA Board of Directors Chair-Elect John Montoro, CPA (right); and VSCPA President & CEO Stephanie R. Peters, CAE. 

The speeches were followed by an open forum and a town-hall discussion on the United States’ debt crisis and the role CPAs can play in solving the country’s fiscal problems.

  

“I think it’s an issue that’s very important to the public at large right now,” VSCPA member James “Tres” Brackens, III, CPA, said, “and particularly to CPAs, because we’re in a unique position to help inform people as well as to help bring more accountability and encourage responsibility in the fiscal environment. Coming to this event was kind of the first step into raising awareness and educating the very people that are charged with the duty of bringing about accountability and responsibility.”
