	AICPA - Restructuring
		The AICPA is the national, professional organization of certified public accountants comprised of more than 325,000 members who advise clients on Federal, state and international tax matters as well as prepare income and other tax returns for millions of Americans.
		In early 1990, the AICPA Tax Division released its Blueprint for Tax Simplification which attempts to define the tax complexity problem, defines the factors that affect complexity, discusses the development and use of simplification measurement tools, and sets forth guiding principles for simplification.
		In addition, in early 1990, the AICPA jointly sponsored the Invitational Conference on Reduction of Income Tax Complexity which brought together tax policy experts for two days of presentations and discussion of the major factors contributing to the increased complexity of the tax law and possible solutions to the resulting problems.

	AICPA Hops On FASB Bandwagon For International Standards Setting Reform
		The standards setting board, in the AICPA's view, should be comprised of "highly skilled, experienced individuals with varied backgrounds including financial statement users, preparers, public accountants, academics, national standard setters, and regulators." The board would set its own agenda and its members would be sufficiently compensated to attract highly qualified individuals.
		Under the AICPA vision, board members would be appointed by a board of trustees made up of individuals with varied backgrounds.
		The AICPA acknowledged that it may not be possible to achieve its vision of the process at this time but encouraged the working party to consider the vision as the ultimate goal.

	» The AICPA’s New Mission (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The hidden danger here is that the AICPA is tapping into a fairly hostile constituency when it comes to moving towards more lucid financial reporting.
		I don’t believe that the AICPA is putting itself on the forefront of improving financial reporting with this move; I think it’s going in the opposite direction.
		The AICPA task force that pushed this idea forward had a couple of venture capitalists on it for instance; they’re often willing to make their voice heard when it comes to opposing clarity in financial reporting.

		The AICPA sought an exemption from the notification requirements because of the stricter requirements of their members’ enforceable Code of Professional Conduct, but the FTC determined that it did not have the authority to grant such an exemption because of the broad consumer protection language of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
		While you are already protecting client confidentiality under Rule 301 of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, Gramm-Leach-Bliley also requires you to notify clients of your policies to protect the privacy of their personal financial information, as described in the practice guide.
		Specifically, AICPA Interpretation 301-3 [ET section 301.04] requires that a member take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality agreement) so that the prospective new owners do not disclose any information obtained during the course of the review of the member’s practice.
