Peer Review

 
Recognizing the public's interest in reliable financial statements, the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) instituted a practice-monitoring program for its members in 1988. Effective January 1, 1994, as a condition of license renewal for a CPA or a CPA firm that provides attest services or issues compilation reports, the Iowa Accountancy Examining Board requires completion of a peer review pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Administrative Rules.
