The Public Accountants Association of Kansas (P.A.A.K.) was founded in 1948 for the purpose of preserving and perpetuating public accounting as a profession in Kansas. As P.A.A.K. has grown and matured, the Association has expanded into other areas including, but not limited to, providing quality education opportunities to people in the accounting and tax professions and advising federal, state and local units of governments of the effects of proposed legislation.
