Advocacy

OSCPA represents your professional interests in Salem and in Washington, DC.  Volunteers have built a solid and positive reputation among Oregon legislators as a trusted resource for objective, in-depth legislative analysis and testimony.

  • On a local level, member contributions to the OCPA/Legislative Action Committee (OCPA/LAC) enable us to personally visit with legislators to advocate for the profession. Members can also participate in the Key Person Program to connect with state legislators whom they know personally to explain or pass on information beneficial to the profession. Additionally, members serving on the legislative policy, taxation, and various other committees analyze and monitor bills, prepare testimony, and testify in front of legislative committees as the need arises.
  • On a federal level, OSCPA works in cooperation with the AICPA's legislative affairs team to support federal legislative activity related to the CPA profession, CPAs' clients, and the public-at-large.
