CHANGE IS HAPPENING FASTER THAN EVER. FACE THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE.
The next two years are shaping up to be game changers and the MICPA is prepared to be your go to resource for updates, information, education and answers.
Here are just a few examples of our commitment to meeting new challenges head on:
LARA COMMITS TO ELECTRONIC FILING AND PAYMENT EXCLUSIVELY
ISSUE: The state will no longer accept paper spreadsheets for reporting or checks for renewal.*
SOLUTION: When filing begins July 1, 2017, LARA recommends the MICPA CPE Tracker as the best option for recording and uploading your CPE to its website. The Tracker also allows you to enter third- party CPE and carryover.

STATE DECLINES TO RECOGNIZE SOME THIRD-PARTY CPE CMY ISSUE: Some third-party CPE does not meet State filing standards. K
SOLUTION: MICPA CPE is guaranteed to be accepted by the State, never placing you in difficulty where your biennial filing obligations are concerned.
TAX REFORM MIGHT HAPPEN QUICKLY
ISSUE: Federal and state legislative observers say conditions are right for rapid and significant changes to the tax codes.
SOLUTION: MICPA has committed to staying on top of tax reform for you, collecting media reports, tracking progress of competing plans and providing insight from experts who have intimate knowledge of these issues and their implications.
SOLUTION: MICPA also is developing CPE to address any tax reform to keep you up-to-speed on changes.
Answering the question, “What’s next for MICPA’s members?” is always our biggest priority. We’re also committed to delivering you real-time answers based on what we see coming next.
Thank you for your engagement. Thank you for your confidence in us. Thank you for being an MICPA member.
Very truly yours,
