Web Notes
By Craig Mandelbaum, nysscpa.org Web Manager
This month we take a look at the “Government Affairs” section of the nysscpa.org website.
The New York State Society of CPAs offers legislative information, contact information for state legislators, and the latest bills online, through the Government Affairs section.
The “Legislation” page within this area tracks the latest accounting-related bills and actions over time. Enron-inspired bills, Uniform Accountancy Act bills, New York state and federal bills, as well as Society and agency opinions and regulations, can be found here. Users can also find the NYSSCPA Draft Legislative Proposal within this page.
In the “Contact Your Elected Representative” page of the section, visitors can find every New York state Assemblyman and Senator, as well as the district they represent, their e-mail address, mailing address, and telephone and fax numbers.
Links to state and federal websites, such as the governor’s office, the State Department of Education and the White House, are located within this section too, under “Legislative and Governmental Links.”
Other Government Affairs features include the Society’s Enron Briefing Book and information on the CPA Political Action Committee (CPAPAC).
The Government Affairs section can be accessed by clicking on a number of places on the nysscpa.org homepage, including:
