Nomination Period Now Open for 2015 "Top 10 Public Accounting Professionals" Awards

Flemington, NJ, January 15, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The National Academy of Public Accounting Professionals (NAPAP) is now accepting nominations for the 2015 "Top 10 Public Accounting Professionals" awards in each state. In addition, NAPAP is also accepting nominations for the newly established "Top 10 Public Accounting Professional Rising Stars" awards, which will recognize outstanding accountants with less than 15 years of experience.

"In 2015, we look forward to distinguishing not only the top ten public accounting professionals in each state, but also the top ten rising stars," says Paul Witte, Executive Director of NAPAP. "We encourage accountants to nominate those peers who have clearly mastered their craft, and we also encourage clients who've had extremely positive experiences with their accountants to acknowledge their satisfaction with a nomination."

A primary charter of the National Academy of Public Accounting Professionals is to recognize and distinguish the Top 10 Public Accounting Professionals in each state. The accountants who make the NAPAP "TOP 10" list demonstrate an extensive amount of knowledge, skill, experience and success in the field of accounting. To achieve this award, the accountants must first be nominated by industry peers or satisfied clients. The nominees are reviewed by the NAPAP research committee, which evaluates each nominee's credentials against the award criteria, and compiles a list of finalists from which the NAPAP Board of Governors selects the Top 10. Selection criteria include education, years of experience, areas of expertise, certifications, publications, awards, leadership, and client satisfaction.

Nominations can be submitted via the NAPAP website at www.napapweb.org.
