The article discusses the commendable spirit of continual practice by certified public accountants (CPA) by citing a motivating example. It depicts how after the serious accident of an fellow accountant, CPAs of the Idaho Society of Certified Public Accountants took over the pending works of injured colleague. The Society notified the officers of the state society, who approved the action taken and immediately called the Society's emergency professional assistance committee to active duty. Subsequently after the death of the injured colleague, all the clients were requested on the letterhead of deceased CPA to cooperate in the grave situation. List of the clients was prepared and all the CPAs of the society were given the choice to serve the clients of deceased colleague. Each CPA or representative at the meeting was told to review the list and make a separate written offer for each client they would like to serve. The efforts of the Idaho Society of Certified Public Accountants reminds of the proverb "The show must go on."
