Having performed hundreds of peer reviews across the United States, SEK's peer review professionals bring valuable insights and a collaborative approach to help other Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms strengthen their quality management systems and audit processes. We conduct both System Reviews and Engagement Reviews and provide consulting services to help accounting practices and other organizations strengthen their quality management systems, enhance audit processes, and maintain compliance with professional standards.
WHAT IS A PEER REVIEW?
A peer review is a periodic, independent evaluation of a CPA firm's accounting and auditing practice. In most states, peer reviews are required by state boards of accountancy and CPA societies as part of firm licensing and membership requirements.
The purpose of a peer review is to determine whether a firm’s system of quality management is designed and operating effectively, and whether its accounting and auditing work complies with applicable professional standards.
