What We Do

·         Respond to technical hotline questions from Society members.

·         Provide input on matters concerning peer review related areas to the Society’s Board of Directors.

·         Develop and maintain a liaison between the Society, New York State Education Department’s Peer Review Oversight Committee, and the AICPA.

·         Aid in the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ administration of the AICPA peer review program through participation on the PICPA Peer Review Committee and Report Acceptance Bodies.
