Advocacy Resources
Government Affairs
We work with a government affairs consultant so that MTCPA has a strong voice in the legislative process. Our consultant monitors legislative activity, keeps us informed of bills that could affect CPAs, and advocates on behalf of our members to support policies that protect and strengthen the profession. By building relationships with lawmakers and guiding our advocacy efforts, they ensure MTCPA and our members stay proactive in shaping regulatory issues that impact the accounting field in Montana.
