CPAs, like all providers of personal financial services, are now required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. CPAs have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy.
We
collect nonpublic personal information about you that is
provided to us by you or obtained by us with your
authorization. This information is vital to the
services that we provide to you, and is also in many
cases, highly sensitive.
For current and former clients, we do not disclose any
nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of our
practice except as required or permitted by
law. Permitted disclosures include, for
instance, providing information to our employees, and in
limited situations, to unrelated third parties who need to
know that information in order to assist us in providing
services to you. In all such situations,
we stress the confidential nature of information being
shared, and take all appropriate measures to confirm that
any and all data is marked as
confidential.
Protecting the Confidentiality and Security of Current and Former Clients’ Information
We retain records relating to professional services that we
provide so that we are better able to assist you with your
professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with
professional guidelines. In order to guard
your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our
professional standards.
