MSBO Certification News:

Mary Beth Stein, Sub-Committee Chair

The MPAAA,  in collaboration with MSBO (Michigan School Business Officials),  has developed two certification tracks which are currently available to accept participants:

• (PAA) Pupil Accounting Auditor
• (PAS) Pupil Accounting Specialist

The PAA and PAS certification tracks are designed to offer a practical overview of key areas of law, regulations, and practices as they relate to pupil accounting auditors and specialists. This collaboration and effort came as a result of the MPAAA membership voting to establish a certification track offering.  The Board hopes the membership enthusiastically supports and embraces the certification track benefits, as well as, the effort to advance the professions of the pupil accounting auditor and specialist. For more information on the certification tracks, please contact MSBO at 517.327.2587.  You may also inquire about requirements and track offering details via the MSBO website.
