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 from third parties with your authorization.
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
to assist us in providing services to you. In all such situations, we stress the
confidential nature of information being shared.
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.
