- keep it clean (i.e., no profanity or obscenity)
- give credit where credit is due by citing your sources
- search before posting a question, it may have been answered already
- report illegal or inappropriate postings you find within a community to membership@mncpa.org or 952-831-2707 x2
Please don't:
- talk about fees, it invites charges of violating antitrust laws

- post promotional messages (e.g., products/services, job postings, firm/business acquisitions, CPE programs not affiliated with MNCPA)
- post unnecessary messages to the whole group; instead, send appreciative notes directly to the sender rather than posting to the whole group

- remove a posting if it violates the code of conduct
