What do I do if this is my firm’s first peer review?
|
|
|
The AICPA Standards for Performing and Reporting on Peer Reviews states that a firm should enroll in the
program and submit an enrollment form by the report date of the initial engagement.
If this is your firm’s first time enrolling in peer review, contact the California Society of CPAs (CalCPA) at
(800) 922-5272, extension 2, to enroll. After registering with CalCPA, they will provide you with a list
of peer reviewers. The Board does not provide a list of reviewers. Multi-jurisdictional firms may
participate in the peer review process with a sponsoring organization other than the CalCPA.
Helpful Hints - For more information, refer to PRP Sections 1000.13 and 1000.14.
