Accounting Peer Review Services
Peer review is a form of self-regulation, using the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants guidelines for monitoring. The program has been around for many years. In 2010, the state of California mandated peer reviews for all CPA firms performing audit, accounting and attest services in the state. Peer reviews are used to enhance the quality of services performed in the auditing and accounting industry. Our firm has undergone a peer review since the program’s inception. We offer the following peer review services:
Review Engagements
System Engagements
Off year consulting and monitoring services
Auditing and Accounting Services
A significant part of our work is in connection with audits of commercial enterprises, non-profit organizations, and governmental units. In addition to annual audits, special auditing or accounting services of a different nature or for a different purpose are frequently requested by our clients. Such assignments include special examinations to uncover fraud or error and reports on special presentations such as compliance features of loan agreements and other contracts. Not all financial statements are audited.
Clients often ask us to help prepare unaudited financial statements. Although our work during the course of these engagements is not to examine the financial statements, in order to prepare such statements, which are meaningful and useful, we must become generally familiar with the client’s operations. Our clients consider the continuing year-round advice we offer them on accounting and other problems to be of major value. Examples of these services include assistance in financial planning and forecasting, analysis and advice regarding purchase or sale of a business and recommendations regarding accounting systems, procedures and organizational problems. We try to anticipate problems so that they can be dealt with before they become critical.
