ALAN MUN LEONG YEE,

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Alan Mun Leong Yee from the Department of Taxation.  A resume was submitted by the nominee.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

Upon review of the testimony and other information received, your Committee finds that the nominee's understanding of tax law and board procedures and his commitment to public service qualify him to serve on the Board of Taxation Review for the 1st Taxation District.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Yee is a certified public accountant and a tax partner at KMH Accounting, LLP, a prominent Honolulu accounting firm.  Mr. Yee has a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Washington, a law degree from the Santa Clara University School of Law, and more than twenty-five years of experience dealing with federal and Hawaii tax laws.  Mr. Yee is also a past member of the Tax Review Commission.  This nomination is for Mr. Yee's second term on the Board of Taxation Review and his continued service on the Board would benefit Hawaii's taxpayers and the tax community.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
