Small Business Size Standards; Accounting, Auditing, and Bookkeeping Services

With the recent consolidations of the largest firms in the accounting, auditing, and bookkeeping services industry and their expansion into providing services of other industries, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has undertaken a review of its small business size standard for this industry. To supplement its review of this industry's size standard, SBA is requesting public comment as to what factors should be considered in establishing a definition of a small accounting, auditing, and bookkeeping services firm, what the public's views on several developments within the accounting industry are, whether the current size standard should be changed, and what the actual definition should be. Should SBA decide that a change is warranted, it would publish a proposed size standard in the Federal Register and seek public comment on a specific size standard before any change in the size standard is put into effect.
