Advocacy Resources

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.

Communications & Liaison At-a-Glance

Stakeholder Liaison establishes relationships with practitioner and industry organizations representing small business and self-employed taxpayers. They provide information about the policies, practices and procedures the IRS uses to ensure compliance with the tax laws. They also elevate issues that affect tax administration using the Issue Management Resolution System (IMRS) – an internal database that streamlines and facilitates issue identification, resolution or response and feedback.

If you are a tax professional and believe you are a victim of a Data Breach, contact your local Stakeholder Liaison immediately.
