NEW YORK, NY, May 14, 2009 – The New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA) installed David J. Moynihan, CPA of Syracuse as President at its 112th Annual Election Meeting and Dinner at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel. Moynihan is the partner in charge of the audit practice group at Testone, Marshall & Discenza LLP.

Moynihan takes office as a new accountancy reform law signed earlier this year by Governor David A. Paterson makes sweeping changes to the state’s regulations for the accounting profession, including bringing a larger number of CPAs under the state’s regulatory structure.

“The new law brings regulation of the profession into the 21st century and will help ensure increased public protection,” Moynihan said. The theme of his administration will be ‘quality matters’ and his goal is to have CPAs and users of CPA services work together in a partnership to ensure quality for the public.

Moynihan has been a NYSSCPA member since 1982. He has served as president-elect and as a member of its Executive committee and Board of Directors. He also chaired the Quality Enhancement Policy, Peer Review and Peer Review Administrative committees, was vice chair of its Political Action committee and chair of its Career Opportunity in the Accounting Profession (COAP) program fundraising committee. He is past president of its Syracuse Chapter and was president-elect and a member of its Executive Board. He also chaired the chapter’s Cooperation with Education and High School Recruitment committees.

Moynihan is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and received its certificate of achievement in Governmental and Non-Profit Accounting and Auditing. He is also a former member of the AICPA Peer Review Board and is on the Central Region Council of the New York State Government Finance Officers Association.

He is Finance Chair of St. Patrick’s Church and treasurer of Partners for Education and Business.

He is a graduate of LeMoyne College with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting.

He and his wife, Sara have a daughter, Allison.
