Who Puts “USGAAP” on Their License Plate?

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Caleb Newquist

It's nice to see a little national accounting pride, I guess:

A few suspects:

  • Christopher Cox
  • Someone from the CPA Congressional Caucus who has a boat parked in RI.
  • Your average Joe who's just walking down the street minding his own business.
  • Anyone at the SEC, really.

If spotted, flag him or her down and get the scoop.
