News and Information

  • State Specific Ethics Course:

    • The Tennessee State Board of Accountancy has developed an approved State Specific Ethics course which can be presented to groups of licensees without charge.  The course is one hour in duration.  If your group or firm of a least 5 licensees is interested in scheduling a presentation of this course, please contact Kathy Riggs (kathy.riggs@tn.gov) to set a date.  The group or firm will be responsible for securing an appropriate site for the course.

  • Peer Review Information:
    • All firms providing attest services must be enrolled in an approved Peer Review Program before the firm permit to practice can be renewed. Any firm that has previously provided attest services but no longer wishes to do so must request exemption from the peer review requirement from the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy.

      Peer Review Oversight Committee

      The Tennessee State Board of Accountancy is accepting applications for members of the Peer Review Oversight Committee.  One member is needed from each grand division of the state; west, middle and east.  Candidates must be equity owners of a firm that received an unmodified report (with or without letter of comments) on its most recent peer review.  In addition, successful candidates must have completed a review training course within the last three years; have knowledge of applicable professional standards; and be fully qualified as team captains.

      New Legislation 2009 (Public Chapter 26)

      Effective April 2, 2009 Public Chapter 26 (2009) changed the law allowing the Board to release examination scores as soon as the tests are scored to all test takers.  Previously, examination candidates who took the examination prior to finishing course work could not receive their scores until the course work was completed.  The statute revision also gives the Board the authority to extend the period for completion of education beyond 200 days upon written request of an applicant for extenuating circumstances.
