WHEREAS, The professional practice of certified public | ||
accounting in Texas is celebrating its 100th anniversary in | ||
2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 1915, the Texas Legislature passed the | ||
Accountancy Bill, which created the Texas State Board of Public | ||
Accountancy to oversee and regulate the examination and | ||
certification of accountants in the state; that same year, the | ||
Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants was established; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy has | ||
since its inception helped ensure that the people of Texas 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 Texas Society 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 society's more than 26,000 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 Texas State Board of | ||
Public Accountancy and the Texas Society of Certified Public | ||
Accountants have served the accounting profession and the people | ||
of Texas with distinction; it is truly fitting that they receive | ||
special recognition for their many contributions to the public | ||
good; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the men and women who serve as | ||
certified public accountants on their exceptional contributions | ||
to the people of Texas and extend to them best wishes for a | ||
memorable 100th anniversary of their profession in Texas; and, be | ||
it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of this special occasion. | ||
