A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA BOARD OF ACCOUNTANCY AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THEIR SIGNIFICANT PROFESSIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES OF THE PALMETTO STATE, TO COMMEND THEM FOR A CENTURY OF OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE AND PUBLIC-PROTECTION ACTIVITIES, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM UPON THE STATE ORGANIZATION'S ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY.

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that the professional practice of certified public accounting in South Carolina is celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2015; and

Whereas, in 1915, the South Carolina Legislature passed the Accountancy Bill, which created the South Carolina State Board of Examiners to oversee and regulate the examination and certification of accountants in the State. That same year, the South Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants was established; and

Whereas, since its inception, the South Carolina Board of Accountancy has helped ensure that the people of South Carolina are served by licensed men and women who possess the necessary education, skills, and capabilities to perform the vital function of accounting; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants is committed to serving the public interest with programs that advance the highest standards of ethics and practices within this honored profession. The association's more than four thousand members work in a wide range of settings, from public accounting firms and private businesses to government agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations; and

Whereas, for the last century, the South Carolina Board of Accountancy and the South Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants have served the accounting profession and the people of South Carolina with distinction. The General Assembly therefore believes it is truly fitting that they receive special recognition for their many contributions to the public good. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor the South Carolina Board of Accountancy and the South Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants for their significant professional contributions to the citizens and businesses of the Palmetto State, commend them for a century of outstanding community service and public-protection activities, and congratulate them upon the state organization's one hundredth anniversary.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Board of Accountancy and the South Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants.
