Objective: The PCPS Technical Issues Committee (TIC) is comprised of practitioner volunteers working to present the collective view of CPAs of local and regional firms on behalf of their clients such as privately held entities and smaller governmental entities. TIC monitors the activities of:
· Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Private Company Council
· Governmental Accounting Standards Board
· AICPA Senior Committees and Boards (Auditing Standards Board, Accounting and Review Services Committee, Professional Ethics Executive Committee, Peer Review Committee, etc.)
· Other boards and committees, as necessary, for technical developments that could have a significant effect on CPAs with small private company, not-for-profit, and governmental clients
TIC submits comment letters on key proposals, holds meetings with standards-setting bodies and provides standards-setters with practical assistance, such as "field testing" portions of proposed guidance and providing practical examples of the effects of implementation.

· Strong technical skills in accounting and attest services
· Strong communication skills, including the ability to articulate a broad range of technical issues clearly and concisely
