The GBA Bank Accountant Section was formed in 2018 for accountants who represent or are employed by GBA member banks. The purpose is to foster information sharing about key accounting issues, improve skills within the community of professionals doing accounting-related work for banks, identify, study and establish consensus on key advocacy and policy positions and strengthen professional connections.
The Section hosts a Bank Accountant Conference each fall concurrently with the GBA President and CEO and Bank Counsel conferences. Employees of banks with accounting responsibilities and Associate Member Accounting firms are invited to the conference.
