WHAT IS PEER REVIEW

Recognizing the public's interest in reliable financial statements and the importance the public attaches to reports by CPAs on those statements, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants requires its member firms to undergo a peer review. A peer review is a periodic outside review of the firm's quality control system in accounting and auditing and is also known as the AICPA's practice monitoring program. Its aim is to maintain and improve the quality of the accounting and auditing services performed by member firms.
