Q: I have been following the American Institute of CPAs’ progress with respect to the proposed XYZ global credential and was wondering what my peers’ opinions of the proposed credential are. Has the New York State Society of CPAs received any feedback from its members concerning this matter? If so, does the Society post these comments online?

A: The Society’s website hosts a forum where CPAs and other interested parties can post their opinions and ideas concerning the proposed XYZ global credential and the AICPA’s interest in the designation. To read or post messages on this board, members should go to www.nysscpa.org and click on the first link in the NYSSCPA Info Highlights section (“The AICPA is planning a membership ballot in the fall…do you know enough about ‘XYZ’?”).
