Public Records

The Board of Accountancy follows the Public Records Act regarding disclosure of its public records.

All records available for public disclosure are:

  • Processed by the Public Records Officer.
  • Indexed through the agency’s approved retention schedule.
  • Made available to you electronically through our Managed File Transfer (MFT) system.
  • Available to view at the Board's office at 711 Capitol Way South, Suite 400, Olympia, WA 98501, by appointment between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Requesting Public Records

To request public records, complete the Public Records Request form and submit by:

  • Email: PublicRecordsRequest@acb.wa.gov

  • Mail: WA State Board of Accountancy
    Attn: Public Records Officer
    PO Box 9131
    Olympia, WA 98507-9131

Your request must include:

  • The date of your request.

Delays completing your request may occur when:

Lists of CPAs are only provided to educational organizations and professional associations recognized by the Board. The request must provide sufficient information to satisfy the approving Board committee that the requested list is primarily:

  • NOT used for any commercial purpose.

You must submit a List Request Form before requests will be honored.
