Administrative/Biographical History

The General Assembly established the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy in 1925 by Public Chapter No. 33. The Board later joined the Regulatory Boards Division of the Department of Commerce and Insurance. The Tennessee State Board of Accountancy protects the public interest by ensuring that persons professing special competence in accountancy or those offering assurance regarding financial statement presentation have demonstrated their qualifications to do so.
