A Message from the President

FEI Members:
 
Over the next several weeks, there will be numerous opportunities for private company members to get more involved in the issues impacting their businesses, as well as to meet one another. For starters, on May 2, Edmund Haislmaier of the Heritage Foundation will speak to members of the Private Company Roundtable about the recent Supreme Court case regarding the new health care laws and the likelihood of it being declared unconstitutional. This will impact private companies either way, so I would encourage you to sign up for the teleconference. You can register by clicking here.
 
For those attending the 2012 Leadership Summit at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in May, please mark your calendars for the evening of Sat., May 19 as the Private Company Roundtable is planning an informal cocktail hour at the resort. For more information about this event, please contact Tyler Roberts in FEI’s Washington, D.C., office.

Your participation provides valuable data for fellow FEI members, regulators and the press, and documents current trends in audit fees. We also ask for your opinion regarding the PCAOB’s recent proposal for mandatory auditor rotation.
