Rockville, MD/ October 11, 2010/ --  Lisa J. Cines, CPA, an Officer at Aronson & Company (A&C), a top 100 accounting and consulting firm, has been named to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Board of Examiners for the 2010-2011 term.

The mission of the AICPA Board of Examiners (BOE) is to provide reasonable assurance to boards of accountancy that candidates who pass the CPA Examination possess the level of technical knowledge and the skills necessary for initial licensure to protect the public interest.

Commented Cines: “I am honored to be selected to serve as a volunteer on the Board of Examiners.  Giving back to the profession and its most important advocacy organization is incredibly rewarding.  I have served on other AICPA committees in the past and am looking forward to this new role.” She continued, “With the inclusion of international standards on the exam, and the exam being administered internationally in the not-so-distant future, this is a particularly exciting time to participate on the Board.”

The BOE is the body that sets policy for the Uniform CPA Examination in accordance with legal and psychometric standards as they apply to licensure examinations. In addition, the BOE (1) oversees the development and scoring of the CPA Examination; (2) ensures that the CPA Examination is consonant with entry-level knowledge and skill requirements of CPAs; and (3) represents the CPA Examination to state boards of accountancy and the profession.
