The ASBPA concluded that accountants who provide professional services to licensed Arkansas MMJ businesses will not be perceived as lacking “good moral character” and the service provided won’t be “considered an act discreditable to the profession.” according to Little Rock TV station KFSM.

Though accountants in many marijuana states serve the industry without incident, only a handful of states have issued specific marijuana-industry guidance for CPAs, according to the American Institute of CPAs.
