The Board of Accountancy is committed to protecting Oregon consumers by ensuring
qualified licensees practice public accountancy in accordance with
established professional standards and promulgated rules. We embrace diverse backgrounds and experiences, ensuring that accounting inequities are addressed while also ensuring to engage with the public in a variety of ways. There are many ways you can get involved in the decision-making
process in regards to accounting such as by appearing at one of the numerous Board or Committee meetings displayed below. The BOA holds open comment periods on our rules and proposals as well holding frequent meetings open for the community
to attend. All meetings provide the opportunity for public comment as a part of the agenda while other meetings are dedicated solely to gathering public comment.
NOTE: The Board and LRC are discussing potential policy responses to the emerging issue of private equity ownership of CPA firms. That work initially will focus on what legislative language tweaks may be appropriate to propose (and when), before any rulemaking can take place on any passed legislation. At this time, the BOA's focus is on monitoring the recommendations developed at the national level (
AICPA and
NASBA).
The Board of Accountancy will begin the rulemaking process on June 4 with an anticipated rule exposure date of
July 1, 2026.
The public comments period for the newly exposed rules will begin on July 1, 2026 and end at 9 am on September 24, 2026; the same day as the Board's September Board meeting.
