National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) presented the North
Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners with an award honoring the Board’s web
site as one of the best accountancy board websites in the nation. The award
recognized the Board’s website as “going beyond the basic to offer
comprehensive information to licensees and the public.” California, Idaho,
and Washington also received awards for their web sites. A project of the
NASBA Strategic Initiative Committee, the web award program was designed to
encourage accountancy boards to use the Internet to make information
available to licensees and the public in an informative, easy-to-use
manner. |
