Levy v Martin Revisited: Court Case Emphasizes Value of Engagement
Letters…from Start to Finish
Some may recall an article in the March/April Leaders’
Edge in 2001 discussing the Michigan Supreme Court decision in Levy v
Martin, 463 Mich 478, 620 NW2d 292 (2001). The case involved tax preparation
services covering a span of years.
Update on MACPA Legislative Priorities
The MACPA Board of Directors, Legislative Advisory Group and government
relations staff remain extremely busy in the pursuit of the CPA profession’s
legislative and regulatory agenda. 2008 promises to be a very exciting and
full year on the legislative front; and keeping all MACPA members
well-informed is a top priority.

MACPA: Helping Members
Enhance Their Knowledge
The hottest issue for the profession is the movement toward a unified CPA
license mobility system. As the effort gains traction across the country,
I’m pleased to report we are very close to introducing legislation in
Michigan. Easing restrictions on interstate practice will save us, our
clients, and our companies time and money by allowing us to do our jobs more
effectively and efficiently. Tune in to the MACPA for updates in the coming
days.
