Product Description

CPA’s Guide to Quality Control and Peer Reviews is a straightforward and practical reference to help CPA firms formulate a quality control system and ensure effective self-regulation. Easy-to-use models of quality control policies and procedures suitable for various levels of practice can be quickly customized to meet the needs of all but the largest firms. Comprehensive guidelines and checklists are provided for implementation and self-assessment. The Guide will keep you current with changes in independence rules, related-party disclosure, fraud risk assessment procedures, and professional standards, including the Statements on Quality Control Standards, Statements on Auditing Standards, Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services, Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements, and the Government Auditing Standards (the Yellow Book). Practical guidance and a special trouble-shooting guide help you avoid system design and implementation issues that lead to costly inefficiencies or malpractice claims. Reliable and user-friendly checklists, reports, letters, and other practice aids are specifically targeted to your firm’s size--including variations on the small firm. They are provided on an accompanying free, companion CD-ROM for easy use and customization. The CPA’s Guide also contains illustrations and practice pointers that clarify important issues.
