Emphasis on saving taxpayer funding; not on specific agency quality of work.

State Board of Accountancy (SBOA) caught in a larger fiscal problem not of its making.

Private Relationships Count. NASBA Was Terrific! SBOA needed outside

and credible assistance. NASBA provided it. Plan both a public and private strategy. It is never over; a battle won today could and

will be easily replayed next year.
