Alert
- Important information regarding selection of a peer
reviewer.
The 2006 reviewed firm’s
Information Required For Scheduling Reviews form
has been revised to add new practice areas and industries
and drop off others. Peer reviewers must now revise
their resumes to address these changes and not all
of them have done so. If you have any of the new practice
areas or industries listed below contact your reviewer
to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and
experience prior to making your final selection of
a reviewer. TSCPA will update its online reviewer
directory as soon as possible. If you can not find
a peer reviewer, please call TSCPA at 800-428-0272
and ask for either Lina Musick at ext. 291 or Jeanette
Landers at ext. 609.
The new practice areas and industries not found in
our online directory are below:
Practice area: 18 – Other Bank Audits
Industries: 126 FDIC Banking – FDIC institutions
having total assets of $500 million or greater at
the beginning of its fiscal year. 380 Defined Contribution Plans Full
Scope 385 Defined Contribution Plans Ltd.
Scope 390 Defined Benefit Plans Full Scope 395 Defined Benefit Plans Ltd. Scope 400 ERISA Health & Welfare Plans 405 Other ERISA Plans 410 Other Employee Benefit Plans 420 Industries Covered Under Single
Audit Act A-133
A key element of a successful peer review is the reviewer.
We have put together this directory to help you select a
reviewer. This directory lists firms and reviewers that
have expressed an interest in performing peer reviews of
other firms and are available to help a firm in planning
reviews, performing inspections, or reviewing selected engagements.
This year we have made the database searchable which should
minimize the time it takes to locate a reviewer. Listed
firms have contributed to the cost of the directory and
are not necessarily the only firms qualified to conduct
reviews. Because a firm is listed in this directory does
not mean it is endorsed by Texas Society of CPAs, American
Institute of CPAs, or any component of either the Society
or the Institute.
Please note that each of AICPA's review programs -- the
Peer Review Program, and the Center for Public Company Audit
Firm Peer Review program -- have established qualifications
for reviewers that are set forth in the standards for performing
and reporting on each type of review. It is the responsibility
of the reviewed firm to confirm that its reviewing firm
is appropriately qualified.
We hope you find this information useful and should you
have any questions concerning the directory or the Peer
Review program, use the following link to the
Peer Review staff directory.
