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.
Types of
Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect:
We collect nonpublic personal
information about you that is provided to us by you or
obtained by us from third parties with your authorization.
Parties to
Whom We Disclose Information:
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. Under Kansas law, if you
provide us with information which you identify as
confidential pursuant to a professional engagement with us,
we are not permitted to disclose that information without
your consent, except in response to a court proceeding, to
the Kansas State Board of Accountancy, or in the course of
peer review of our firm.
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.
Please call if you have any
questions, because your privacy, our professional ethics,
and the ability to provide you with quality financial
services are very important to us.
