NOTES & NEWS Regulatory Updates Member Directory Available to the Public Online We are pleased to be able to provide a member directory on our website that will enable the public to look up CPABC members by name and/or city. To ensure that your privacy is protected, only basic contact information— your name, designation, and city of employment—will be provided. The directory will not include suspended or former members. While inclusion in the directory is compulsory for all members, you may request to be excluded for safety or privacy reasons. If you believe you have a valid security reason to be excluded from the public directory, please contact us at [email protected] by September 30, 2015. Members Only Directory Online A more detailed online directory for members only will be available in the member secure section of our website, where members will be able to determine, on a self-serve basis, what information they want to share with other members. This new directory will be similar to the directories that were previously available on two of the three legacy websites. In addition to sharing the same basic contact information that’s available in the public directory (as described in the section above), members have the option of adding additional information from their profiles, such as employment information. We anticipate that the Members Only Directory will be available in September 2015. 12  CPABC in Focus • Sept/Oct 2015 New CPA Certificates New CPA certificates will be mailed to all members.
