## Text

(a) A person shall substantively respond in writing,
 within 30 days or less as specified by the board, to any communication
 from the board requesting a response. It is not a substantive response

 the written response shall include:

 work papers related to issues in a complaint investigation; and
(2) copies of documents and reports or access to documents
 and reports related to the issues in a complaint investigation of
 the person's professional accounting work or ethical issues conducted
 by state and federal regulatory bodies and professional organizations,
 that the board may determine is related to the board's investigation.
(c) Failure to timely respond substantively to written
 communications, or failure to furnish requested documentation and/or
 work papers, constitutes conduct indicating lack of fitness to serve
 the public as a professional accountant.
(d) Each applicant and each person required to be registered
 with the board under the Act shall notify the board, either in writing
 or through the board's website, of any and all changes in either such
 person's mailing address or telephone number and the effective date
 thereof within 30 days before or after such effective date.
