In times like these, we know it’s now more important than ever to have access to the most up to date information and relevant resources to support you and your business. We’re working hard to deliver you a new and improved experience, tailored to your individual needs. You’ll start seeing some changes later this month.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resource Center
The AICPA is taking the coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously. We are continually monitoring the virus’ impact on our members, staff, exam candidates, students and the profession.
We are working around the clock to get information into the hands of our members as quickly as possible. Understandably, in doing so, our first priority is to provide you with high level overviews, and then to create tools and resources to support the new information. As these tools may be ready slightly after our initial overview, please be sure to check this website on a regular basis.
For additional information, please contact our Global Engagement Center. We recommend using the chat feature in the bottom right corner of the screen for the best service experience.
