What documentation must a CPA submit for any changes in their business address?

A CPA is required to provide a written notice to the relevant regulatory body regarding any changes in their business address. This requirement ensures that the Board or regulatory authority maintains accurate and updated records of CPAs, which is essential for communication and enforcement of ethical standards. A written notice serves as a formal record of the change and helps prevent any potential issues that may arise from outdated contact information, such as missed communications or lapses in compliance.

Other methods of notification, such as informal notices or verbal notifications, do not satisfy the formal requirements expected by regulatory authorities. These informal approaches may lack the necessary documentation and traceability, which could cause problems for both the CPA and regulatory body. By ensuring that a written notice is submitted, CPAs uphold professional standards and contribute to the integrity of the profession.
