is the PAC?

The MACPA has one of the strongest grassroots efforts in Maryland, and the CPA Committee on Political Action is an important part of that effort.

The PAC is dedicated:

  • to the protection, preservation and furtherance of the public interest;
  • to the strengthening of the American economic system; and, in particular,
  • to the protection and advancement of the CPA profession.

What does the PAC do?

It enables the CPA profession to support legislators who share our views. It does this by making contributions to key leaders and members of the legislature.

The profession has enjoyed a long list of legislative victories, but none of those successes would have been accomplished without legislators who listen to and support our position. It is more important than ever that we continue to support those who protect our interests.

Our interests include not only what is important to CPAs, but also to a broader base of business clients. Proposed legislation that jeopardizes the contributory negligence system and other matters, such as sales tax on services, are intensifying every year, and the efforts to pass such legislation are gaining momentum.

Why should I support the PAC?

With your donation to the CPA Committee on Political Action, we are able to:

  • educate legislators about matters that are important to the profession;
  • realize greater legislative effectiveness;
  • send a clear, consistent message;
  • effectively fight challenges to the contributory negligence system and sales and use taxes on services;
  • keep the MACPA membership fully informed.
