History

  • The Oklahoma Society of Public Accountants was formed on December 26th, 1944. The formation of OSPA preceded the formation of its national affiliate, the National Society of Public Accountants. Members of the Oklahoma Society were instrumental in the formation of their national organization.

    •  

  • The National Society of Public Accountants was formed on December 11, 1945 under the laws of Delaware. The Society’s first Executive Secretary was Oklahoma’s George LaCoste who had been one of the founders of the state organization and served as its’ first president from 1944-1947. Mr. LaCoste operated the National Society’s headquarters out of his office in the Majestic Building in downtown Oklahoma City for several years before the headquarters was moved to Washington, D.C.

    •  

  • The Oklahoma Society of Public Accountants, in keeping with its national affiliate, adopted a dba in 1996 of “The Oklahoma Society of Accountants.” The reason for this change was to better reflect the membership makeup. OSA is an open society comprised of Public Accountants, Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents and unlicensed accounting and tax practitioners thus serving the entire accounting and tax profession.

    •  

  • OSA is proud to be 50 plus years’ young and still striving to serve the profession and the public. Currently the Society’s offices are located in Del City, Oklahoma.
