committees: private companies

The Committee on Private Companies (CPC) was established in June 1997 for the purpose of addressing the professional needs of financial executives employed in private and closely held companies, and to provide a voice for their interests within FEI. CPC tracks developments affecting private and closely held companies, promotes information exchange among interested FEI members and oversees the development of programs, products and services that address private and closely held company issues.

CPC, through its work and communications provides a link between FEI's headquarters, FEI's other national technical committees and the FEI chapters. CPC is also authorized to formulate FEI position statements on matters affecting private and closely held companies and to communicate those positions to other organizations, government agencies, the academic community and other external parties of interest.

CPC has a responsibility to represent the views, attitudes and opinions of the FEI membership while maintaining high standards of professional integrity and competence.

Mission:
• Promote and provide oversight to the development of programs and services targeted to meet the needs of members in private and closely held companies throughout FEI, including those which can be utilized by local FEI chapters, and any other special programs and services targeted to this group
• Promote and provide oversight to the development of articles for Briefing, Financial Executive Magazine and other publications that serve the FEI membership at large
• Sponsor a track at the FEI Annual Conference, and oversee the development and delivery of sessions in the track. Additionally, CPC will respond to and/or initiate other conference and related opportunities as circumstances and resources warrant
• Track and respond to government activities, media inquiries and other developments directly impacting private and closely held entities on behalf of FEI
