Attention compilation firms
PEER REVIEW ORIENTATION – May 6
Beginning this year, a new group of firms are beginning to be covered by peer review.
The State Board of Accountancy will host a conference call peer review orientation -- Wednesday May 6, at 11 am.
This orientation session will provide a variety of information about the process of peer review. Harold Wilde, Chair of the State Board, will provide an overview of the program, including our history in the state, plus alternatives to issuing a compilation. The CPA Society’s Peer Review Chair, Stan Sandvik, will comment on his experience with peer review, how the process works, the value a firm can receive, how to prepare, and the possible cost. These two presentations will be relatively brief, perhaps about 5 minutes each. Most of the remainder of the session will be available for questions and responses.

To participate in the call, dial 1 888-583-1346, then *248 1750*.
