9. Educational Resources

CPAClub’s Guardians Pass provides year-round general education and resources related to California trust accounting requirements, including Expert Q&A Sessions, on-demand education, a trust accounting resource library, and other learning materials. 

These resources are intended for general educational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice, advice on attorney professional responsibility matters, or firm-specific accounting, compliance, or consulting advice. 

CPAClub does not evaluate an individual law firm’s compliance or provide recommendations based on its specific circumstances through the Guardians Pass. Each law firm remains solely responsible for understanding and complying with applicable requirements and determining how to apply the information provided to its own practices. 

10. State Bar of California Disclaimer

CPAClub is a State Bar of California-approved provider of CTAPP compliance reviews. However, CPAClub and its representatives are not employed, endorsed, or otherwise engaged by the State Bar to provide the Guardians Pass or its educational resources on the State Bar’s behalf. 

The Guardians Pass and its educational materials have been independently developed by CPAClub and have not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by the State Bar of California. 

11. CTAPP Compliance Review Benefit

An active Guardians Pass includes a CTAPP compliance review benefit if the law firm is selected by the State Bar of California during its membership term, subject to applicable eligibility requirements, independence restrictions, professional standards, and program terms. 

Where permitted under applicable independence and regulatory requirements, CPAClub will perform the CTAPP compliance review at no additional cost under a separate engagement agreement. 

If CPAClub is unable to perform the review due to independence restrictions or other engagement acceptance considerations, the law firm may engage another State Bar-approved CPA firm, with CPAClub covering the actual cost of the review, up to a maximum of $5,000, subject to prior written approval and applicable program terms. 

All CTAPP compliance reviews must be performed by an independent, State Bar-approved CPA firm under a separate engagement agreement directly with the law firm. 

The CTAPP compliance review benefit is available only under the terms of an active Guardians Pass membership and does not guarantee selection for a review, acceptance of an engagement by CPAClub, or coverage of costs beyond the applicable benefit limits. 

12. Guardians+ Professional Services

Guardians+ is a separate offering for law firms seeking CTAPP compliance reviews and related professional services after selection by the State Bar. These services are subject to separate engagement agreements, applicable professional standards, and independence requirements and are not automatically included in a standard Guardians Pass membership. 

13. Changes to the Guardians Pass

CPAClub reserves the right to modify the features, benefits, pricing, availability, and eligibility requirements of the Guardians Pass, subject to applicable law and existing membership agreements. 

Enrollment in the Guardians Pass establishes only those rights and benefits expressly provided under the applicable membership agreement and program terms. 

Participation in the giveaway does not constitute enrollment in the Guardians Pass or establish entitlement to any membership benefit or professional service.
