Revised Standards Issued for Performing and Reporting on Peer Reviews

The AICPA’s Peer Review Board has issued revised Standards for Performing and Reporting on Peer Reviews (Standards) and Interpretations to the Standards, which are applicable to all AICPA members’ firms subject to peer review. Members’ firms currently enrolled in the Center for Public Company Audit Firms Peer Review Program are covered under this measure. Since the revisions are significant, all interested parties, especially peer reviewers, peer reviewed firms (including those responsible for their firm’s quality control functions) and peer review users are encouraged to consider them.  Learn More>>

PCPS Map Top Issues Survey

The PCPS Top MAP Issues Survey gathers information from a wide range of practitioners in firms of various sizes to get a snapshot of the most critical challenges facing PCPS members. For the first time this year, PCPS is not issuing one overall Top MAP Issues list because it was determined that averaging the answers from many different types of firms does not necessarily accurately mirror the concerns of each segment. Instead, PCPS is releasing five separate Top MAP Issues lists that reflect the views of CPAs who are sole practitioners and those in firms with two to five professionals, six to ten professionals, 11 to 20 professionals, and more than 21 professionals.
