  Alternative procedures can be performed to meet the needs of a third party, regulatory agency or your specific concerns such as in the following examples:

• CPA Firm Peer Review Services

  The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) bylaws require that its member CPA firms be affiliated with a firm that is enrolled in an approved practice-monitoring program (Peer Review Program). A majority of State Boards of Accountancy have also made peer review mandatory for licensure.

  A peer review is generally required every three years. Its purpose is to provide an independent review of a firm’s system of quality control over its accounting and auditing practice.

  Dugan & Lopatka has extensive national experience in conducting peer-to-peer reviews. A successful review will offer your CPA firm an independent perspective on the effectiveness and efficiency of your firm’s policies and procedures. Dugan & Lopatka conducts all of our reviews with a commitment to technical expertise and quality. We strive to provide practical, actionable recommendations.

  A successful peer review depends greatly on a firm’s commitment to quality and compliance with professional standards. We approach the issues you face from a professional, technical and economic standpoint, with the goal of bringing value to the process. We identify potential weaknesses in your system while offering recommendations and best practices. Our objective is to help you improve your accounting and audit practice in terms of quality and efficiency.
