CPA Firm Peer Reviews
Benefits Beyond Compliance
Your peer review partner determines your experience and ultimately, the value received.
In our line of business, we know that peer reviews aren’t optional and that not even an auditor enjoys being audited.
For over 40 years CSH has been a trusted partner for 100+ accounting firms, providing best-in-class peer reviews to meet the changing standards of our profession while proactively advising on potential efficiencies in applying standards.
AICPA Expertise
Our fully dedicated, best-in-class peer review team are active members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Center for Audit Quality, Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center, Governmental Audit Quality Center, and are part of AGN International. A member of our peer review team serves on the Ohio Society of CPAs peer review committee, and another member serves as a technical reviewer in Ohio and Georgia. We also attend the annual AICPA Peer Review Conference as well as various trainings and quarterly update calls, ensuring we are current on the latest issues in peer review.
Our range of peer review services includes:
Engagement Reviews
System Reviews
Pre- and Post-Issuance Reviews
Additionally, our reviews are conducted with minimal interruption to your business and although we prefer to perform reviews onsite, we offer remote reviews as well. Providing a painless process and delivering value that goes beyond the audit is where CSH will outperform our competition.
A Specialty Services Bench for CPA Firms
Through our peer review relationships, we often work with CPA firms whose clients occasionally require specialty expertise that isn’t practical to maintain in-house.
CSH supports firms in these situations by serving as a specialty services bench, providing targeted tax and advisory expertise while you remain fully in control of the client relationship.
Because of our role as a peer reviewer, these collaborations are structured intentionally:
You retain the client relationship
CSH delivers defined specialty expertise
Engagements are scoped, transparent, and independence-minded
We do not market to or pursue your clients
Firms leverage CSH for services such as cost segregation, R&D credits, SOC and CMMC readiness, Quality of Earnings, business valuation, and other advanced advisory solutions, stepping in only when a specific need arises.
We have experience in numerous industries and fields, including:
Financial Institutions, including FDICIA
Mortgage Banking
Service Organizations (SOC)
Yellow Book
Investment Companies
State & Local Government
School Districts
Colleges & Universities
Construction Contractors
Engagements Subject to SEC Independence
