Disciplinary procedures

• Potential disciplinary matters are investigated by the Professional

Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) of the AICPA Ethics Division.

• If a violation is found, PEEC determines if it will

– offer a public settlement to the member,

– issue a confidential letter of corrective action, or

– present the case before the Joint Trial Board.
• The Joint Trial Board hears and determines disciplinary action for

violations of the bylaws and ethics codes of the AICPA.

• Members can be expelled, suspended, admonished, or required to

perform additional actions.
