OSA's History and Organization.

Who We Are - Oklahoma Society of Accountants


The Oklahoma Society of Accountants is a professional organization serving the field of accounting and taxation. It is the only organization that represents all accounting and tax professionals. The organization was incorporated in the State of Oklahoma on December 26, 1944 as the OSPA, now known as OSA, and was instrumental in the establishment of the national affiliate NSA in 1945. OSA is divided into regional chapters across the state meeting periodically throughout the year.


Our Mission

Our mission is to serve OSA members, and thereby the public, by providing members with information, resources and representation. We fulfill this mission through the following goals:

1. To establish and maintain high ethical behavior and standards in the accounting profession.

2. Provide education. Identify the professional needs of our members and serve those needs by providing materials and professional programs that will help improve the quality of services provided by all Oklahoma practicing accountants.

3. Provide a forum for greater public knowledge and understanding of the accounting profession, practice and methods

4. To advocate for the right of all accountants to practice their profession. Most of our members are small, independent practitioners who do not work for large firms. These accounting and tax professionals provide quality services to their clients. A top priority is to protect the right of these and future independent accountants to practice.

5. To encourage & support future members of the accounting profession

6. We promote cordial relations among accountants and foster the exchange of information and networking among professionals in our field.
