AICPA Peer Reviews
We passed with flying colors...
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Peer Review Program is an AICPA-approved practice-monitoring program, which requires that participating firms submit to a rigorous and independent review of their accounting and auditing practices every three years. Our firm has passed all voluntary peer reviews. This review ensures that our firm complies with the stringent quality control standards set by the American Institute of CPAs and reflects the profession's highest standards of quality and professionalism. Our peer review was performed by an independent CPA firm qualified by the program as a reviewer. Click on "Peer Review" below to access report.
