TXCPA volunteer committees serve as the voice of Texas CPAs, working to protect the integrity and effectiveness of the accounting profession. They monitor and respond to proposed rules, regulations, and standards issued by key national and federal organizations — such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and others — that affect how accounting and auditing are practiced nationally.

By gathering input from CPAs across the state, the committees help ensure that tax laws and accounting standards are fair, practical, and serve the public interest.  Through this work, the committees ensure that the perspectives of Texas CPAs are heard in the national conversation, supporting sound financial reporting and tax administration for individuals, businesses, and communities.

The two most active groups who serve diligently in this role are the Professional Standards Committee and the Federal Tax Policy Committee.
