Independent Review of Quality

In conducting a Peer Review, a team of independent CPAs tests our compliance with professional standards in the following areas of quality control:

• Independence, Integrity, and Objectivity - Performing professional responsibilities with objectivity and integrity. Each professional on our staff must adhere to the firm's independence policies and procedures in all practice areas, in fact and in appearance.
   
  
• Personnel Management - Having the right people on the job at the right time is key to quality work. Our training includes a minimum of 120 hours of continuing professional education every three years. Assignments are based on the degree of technical training and proficiency required and the supervisory personnel involved.
   
  
• Acceptance and Continuance of Clients and Engagements - We closely review each client served in order to minimize the likelihood of association with a client whose management lacks integrity, or to risk an association that in any way could damage the professional reputation of the firm. We also evaluate our capabilities and resources prior to accepting an engagement.
   
  
• Engagement Performance - The work performed by engagement personnel must not only meet professional standards, but also the firm's standards of quality. Our system of ensuring the quality of engagement performance encompasses all phases of the design, execution and review of the engagement.
   
  
• Monitoring - To ensure all the above quality control procedures are being followed, we perform periodic internal inspections. In addition, we evaluate the relevance and adequacy of our quality control procedures on an ongoing basis.
