First meeting of Asian
American Society of CPAs

The first organizational meeting of the Asian American Society of
Certified Public Accountants (AASCPA) was held on August 24, 2004 at
the New York City office of Ernst & Young, one of the four largest
accounting firms in the world. The formation of this organization was
spearheaded by Ernst & Young, the Presidents of the National Council
of Philippine American Accountants (NCPACA), and Chinese American
Society of CPAs. Partners of the big four and other CPA firms will
also be invited to join this organization.
Discussed during the meeting includes the formulation of a business
plan covering the establishment, structure, funding, memberships,
affiliations, fees, and programs. The mission of the AASCPA is to
promote the contributions of Asian American CPAs in the profession, to
serve as a role model for young Asians, to cultivate growth of
accounting knowledge, advance networking and business development, to
serve the public and the community by
disseminating tax, accounting, and other business information, to
foster the study of accountancy in universities and colleges and to
promote a high standard of professional ethics in the profession.
The organization will be set up as not for profit organization and a
tax exempt organization under the IRS code 501(c) 3. The founding
