Personalized legal, accounting, and tax advice.  One telephone call

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS. The Board of Accountancy can be vigorous when it comes to
enforcement actions against CPAs who it believes have violated the Agency's rules or the State's Occupations
Code. There are numerous statutory and administrative prohibitions on CPAs.  Sometimes, even if you think a
matter has no bearing on your license, e.g. how and whether or not you should settle a DWI charge, the Board may
think otherwise.  If you are ever the subject of a Board investigation, you should have professional representation.

You advise clients everyday they should obtain professional advice when it comes to dealing with the IRS.  You
should do the same when it comes to defending your license.  The Board has a staff of attorneys; you should have
one too.  Don't try to face the Board by yourself. As an attorney who has worked in the enforcement section of the
State Board of Accountancy, Wilfred Navarro can help.  As a CPA, he understands.  Give him a call!
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The TACPA recently hosted a seminar wherein the slide show below explained the basic
outline of what is being argued.

The Board of Accountancy has initiated a disciplinary proceeding against a licensee wherein it
charges the licensee was in derogation of Board rules that encompass GAAP/GAAS.  In
essence, the licensee issued an opinion that the client's financial statements fairly
represented the client's financial position as of the date issued; the Board's expert disagrees.
The TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS has filed a brief with the
court supporting the licensee's contention that Auditing Standards are unconstitutionally
vague when used as a basis for quasi-criminal sanctions against a CPA.
SHOULD A LICENSEE BE DISCIPLINED BECAUSE HIS PROFESSIONAL
OPINION DIFFERS FROM THAT OF A BOARD EXPERT?

OTHER LICENSEES
The state of Texas regulates
and licenses many
professional activities.  From
real estate agents to
plumbers and doctors, various
state agencies require that
you obtain a license to
practice your profession.  
And, from time to time, there
are disagreements between
licensees and the State on
whether or not the licensee
has complied with State rules.  
We can help!

Don't ignore the notice that
you may be the subject of an
investigation.  It may be that a
simple telephone call can
clear the matter. It may be
more!  Regardless of what the
question may be, do not
hesitate to call Wilfred
Navarro.  He can help!
I'M NOT A CPA, SHOULD I
BE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE MATTER TO THE LEFT?
Perhaps.  Different State
Boards have differing
standards of professional
conduct for licensees.  
Depending upon what
standard the licensing board
that regulates your profession
uses, similar arguments might
be made when accusing you
of misconduct.  Read the
