How to File an Ethics Complaint

Complaints against a CSCPA member must be submitted in writing and mailed to the following address:

CSCPA Professional Ethics Committee
716 Brook St., Ste. 100
Rocky Hill, CT 06067-3405

In most cases, the CSCPA will conduct an initial review of the complaint and, if necessary, an investigation of the matter in accordance with the procedures of the Joint Ethics Enforcement Program (JEEP). If, after initial review, an investigation is deemd unwarranted because it appears the Rules of Conduct have not been breached, you will be notified.

If, however, an investigation is deemed warranted, the results of the investigation will be sharing with you on a confidential basis once it is concluded. In addition, the procedures of the Joint Ethics Enforcement Program require that an investigation be conducted in a confidential mannter and that the results of an investigation be published only if the matter is presented to a hearing panel of the Joint Trial Board and the panel finds one or more members guilty of violating the Code of Professional Conduct, or the investigation results in a settlement agreement that involves admonishment, suspension, or expulsion.

If you have questions regarding CSCPA membership of a CPA, contact Practice Programs Manager Bonnie Olivieri at 860-258-4800, ext. 213 or via e-mail at bonnieo@cscpa.org.
