The MNCPA Professional Ethics Committee will investigate a
complaint against a member if it is determined that the AICPA Code
of Professional Conduct has been violated.
If you are unsure if an ethics violation has occurred, you may
ask an
ethics question.
In this section
Filing a complaint with the MNCPA
Please submit your complaint in writing, including your
signature, to:
Professional Ethics Committee
Minnesota Society of CPAs
1650 W. 82nd St., Ste. 600
Bloomington, MN 55431
We will contact you if additional information is needed.
Your complaint will be considered at the next Professional Ethics
meeting. A letter will be sent to you letting you know whether
or not an investigation will be opened.
How complaints are handled
After reviewing a complaint, the Professional Ethics Committee
may decide:
- That the complaint does not fall under the Code of
Professional Conduct
- That the complaint is without merit and should be dismissed
- To request additional information
- To investigate the complaint further
If an investigation is opened, the Committee determines whether
or not a violation has occurred. This determination leads to
appropriate action, which may include one or more of the following
for the CPA under investigation:
- No further action
- Corrective action
- Suspension of MNCPA membership
- Termination of MNCPA membership
- Publication of the violation
CPA certification
The MNCPA has no jurisdiction over the certification of CPAs. This is handled by the Minnesota Board of
Accountancy.
