The Board does not regulate accountants, public accountants, tax preparers, or enrolled agents. Accountants and public accountants are not regulated by any federal or state agency, however, there are professional associations who may be able to assist you. Tax preparers and enrolled agents are regulated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
