Peer Review

Peer review has been the cornerstone of the accounting profession's self-regulatory program since 1977. It is a periodic outside review of a firm's quality control system in accounting and auditing. Also known as a practice monitoring program, it's done to ensure that firms provide high quality services to their clients.

Peer review is a statutory requirement for Pennsylvania firms, and it is also a condition of membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Most firms are required to have a peer review covering a one-year period, once every three years.
