Standing Committees & Task Forces
KSCPA Members Work to Protect the Public and Lead the Direction of the KSCPA
In addition to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, the KSCPA Bylaws call for 3 standing committees:
In addition to the standing committees, there is a Political Action Committee and the KMAG Board of Editors.
Through its strategic planning process, the KSCPA identifies “four big rocks.” A task force for each rock meets in person at the leadership summits twice a year (November and May) and by conference call at other times during the year. A champion is identified for each task force who leads his or her task force in developing and maintaining action plans for each rock.
An Accounting & Auditing Task Force and Taxation Task Force also meet at the leadership summits twice a year to identify how the KSCPA can continue to provide information and services to meet the needs of members who provide these services. The task force members also serve on steering committees for professional development events to identify topic areas and speakers and are asked to attend special programs sponsored by the AICPA, IRS, and Kansas DOR.
The Young Professionals Task Force seeks to develop initiatives to encourage young CPAs to become active leaders in the profession and their communities. The task force is responsible for developing the “20 up to 40” Leadership program and the Young Professionals Conference.
Task force membership is open to all members.
