Disciplinary Actions

Where feasible, disciplinary articles are periodically removed from this site in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • Terminations generally remain on the website for a maximum of 7 years. If the member has his/her membership reinstated, their article will remain for a minimum of 5 years or the date of reinstatement, whichever is longer.
     
  • Suspensions will generally be removed from the website 1 year after the member’s suspension period has ended. Suspensions coincident with the state boards of accountancy will generally be removed when the member has sent notification that their suspension has been lifted by the state board. However, all suspensions will remain on the website for a minimum of 1 year.
     
  • Admonishments will generally be removed from the website 1 year after the effective date of admonishment.
     

Beginning October 2008, disciplinary actions will appear quarterly.


Help Protect the Public Interest

Members who notice, suspect or are aware of significant deficiencies in the work of another member should seriously consider referring the matter to the Professional Ethics Division. Prior to referral, consider your responsibilities under Rule 301 of the Code of Professional Conduct if the member is affiliated with a client (e.g., CFO of an audit client). If you are unsure of the applicability of Rule 301, call the Ethics Hotline at 888-777-7077 for guidance.
