Maryland CPA Facts • In 1924, Maryland was the first state to
enact a law restric8ng the prac8ce of public accountancy to licensed CPAs and recognizing the important role CPAs would play in the growing commerce and industrial sectors of the Maryland economy.
• This would resurface with the advent of Accoun8ng & Review services in a 1981 AGorney General Opinion allowing non-‐CPAs to offer reviews and compila8ons in the State of Maryland, only to be reversed by legisla8on sponsored by MACPA & the State Board in 2010 rever8ng back to the original intent of the 1924 law.
More than 100 MACPA members call our senators and we defeat the amendment!
