Course Description

The AICPA is holding peer reviewers more accountable which will likely lead to more findings than many firms expect. AICPA research shows that over 60% of previously peer-reviewed engagements should have been deemed non-conforming as they did not comply with risk assessment standards. For that reason alone, firms of all sizes need to understand changes happening in the peer review program.

Join CPA thought leaders Jason Miller, Peer Reviewer & Audit Partner at Anglin Reichmann Armstrong, Carl Mayes, Associate Director of CPA Quality and Evolution at the AICPA, and Andrea Hearn, Senior Technical Product Manager at Wolters Kluwer, as they discuss this important issue and much more!

Learning Objectives:


  • List which hot issues found in peer review may affect audit practitioners the most

  • Identify tips that can help practitioners avoid the common missteps

  • Outline how the right audit methodology and technology help



CPA firm audit partners, audit managers and audit staff interested in improving their audit quality and efficiency will benefit most from this webinar.
