Product Details

Do you as a peer reviewer want to improve your ability to identify instances where a firm hasn’t complied with the relevant professional standards? Do you want to better understand how significant the items you have identified really are from a peer review perspective?

In this webcast, team members from the Center of Plain English Accounting (CPEA) will help you identify these items and provide perspectives that will help you understand their significance.

Ultimately, this will help you as a peer reviewer improve consistency across the program and the profession, as well as help make the peer reviews you perform more effective and efficient.

For the past few years, CPEA team members have discussed common accounting and auditing issues with attendees at the Peer Review Conference.

Now, we want to take it a step further to help peer reviewers across the country consistently identify when a firm has issues with complying with key accounting and auditing topics.
