Executive Director
Johnson Named NASBA Vice Chair Candidate
Carlos Johnson, CPA, Ed.D, a for-mer
OAB member, was nomi-nated
for NASBA vice chair. Johnson
has served as director-at-large on
the NASBA Board of Directors since
2009, and on numerous NASBA
committees, and as the former
NASBA southwest regional director.
If elected at the October 30
NASBA Annual Business Meeting,
Johnson would assume the role of
vice chair, and would accede to serve
as NASBA chair for 2013-2014.
“The OAB congratulates
Johnson on his nomination, and
extends thanks for his 40 years of
service to Oklahoma and the ac-counting
profession. His efforts have
left an indelible mark on the practice
of accounting, not only in the State
of Oklahoma, but nationally. We
look forward to his continued efforts
and wish him the best in the upcom-ing
NASBA election,” declared Randy
Ross, executive director of the OAB.
AICPA Insurance Reminder
OAB Executive Director
Randy Ross, CPA, issued a
reminder to Oklahoma CPAs.
“Are you insured through
AICPA? If so, be very careful
to avoid late registration and
possible certificate revocation,”
he warned. The AICPA receives
notification of all revocations,
which could have negative
implications on your ability to
remain insured through their
programs. Remember to reg-ister
during your birth month
to avoid this and other issues
caused by late registration.
