Information
Review Year End
Page 2004, Paragraph 2000.14 of the AICPA
Peer Review Program Manual states:
A firm should maintain its review year (end) from review to
review. A firm’s subsequent review should be completed within three
years and six months after the end of the period covered by the previous
review. (Engagements with financial statement periods ending during this
period may be subject to review.)
If you are uncertain about how to classify any of your
engagements, you may consider consulting with AICPA Professional
Standards Vol. 1 and 2, your reviewer, or another CPA firm that performs
similar engagements.
Administrative
Procedures
Once you have chosen a date to have your
firm’s review performed, the administrative procedures are applicable
regardless of the deadline date for your review.
When are the
Results of My Peer Review Final?
The results of the firm’s review are final
when the Peer Review committee accepts the report and, if applicable,
the letter of comments (LOC) and the letter of response (LOR.) This
final step ensures that a panel of your peers agrees with your
reviewers' conclusions. You should not publicize the results of the
review or distribute copies of the report until NEPR has advised you
that the report has been accepted.
It ordinarily takes 60 to 90 days to process a review (with
the exception of tax season) from the receipt of the review documents by
NEPR to acceptance by the Peer Review committee. |
