Dear Hannah,
As you may have read on the HUB, or experienced yourself, the Board of Public Accountancy (BoPA) has been backlogged by license applications and licensee correspondence over the last few months. Unfortunately, the already stretched BoPA staff lost two employees, reducing the staff to one. While we appreciate the solid working relationship we have with BoPA, we are frustrated on behalf of our members who have been experiencing completely unacceptable levels of service.
We are working with the Baker Administration to ensure BoPA has adequate staff and resources moving forward. We will post updates here and also on the HUB. In the short term, if you are having issues contacting BoPA staff, or if you haven’t received confirmation of a license application or renewal, please contact Zach Donah at zdonah@mscpaonline.org.
Lastly, to our members who are veterans: thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO |
