Credo for a CPA

To serve the public from whom my authority is derived.

To serve my profession and contribute to its institutions.

To practice at the highest professional level.

To maintain an ethical posture characteristic of a learned
profession.

To maintain my technical skills so that the public is served with competence.

To maintain a state of independence at all times so that decisions are reached with objectivity.

To work with colleagues--for the practice of a profession is an experience in human behavior and mutual respect.

Eli Mason (Westchester), a past president of the Society, wrote these words approximately 20 years ago. Even with all the changes facing the profession, the CPA's core values remain constant, and this credo still rings true today.
