CPA Peer Review – Pittsburgh (PA)

AICPA Peer Review – Pittsburgh (PA)

Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania CPA firms are required to undergo a firm peer review every three years – a requirement mandated by both the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and state licensing agencies.

A peer review is an independent examination of a firm’s accounting and auditing practices by another CPA firm. The purpose is to build client confidence, enhance professional development, identify and mitigate risks, and to satisfy compliance requirements. The reviewer examines ethical requirements, human resources, client acceptance procedures and engagement performance and monitoring. Since the results of peer reviews are publicly available, working with an experienced provider who will carefully examine operations is critical.

About the Pittsburgh Business Community

The Pittsburgh business community is a model of economic reinvention, having evolved from its industrial roots into a diversified, innovation-driven metropolitan economy. Once defined by steel and heavy manufacturing, Pittsburgh has successfully transformed itself into a center for technology, healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing, all while maintaining the work ethic and community cohesion that shaped its history. The city’s resilience is often cited as one of its defining characteristics—a place that rebuilt its economy around knowledge, innovation, and collaboration without losing its industrial spirit.

At the core of Pittsburgh’s success is its education and research ecosystem. Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh serve as twin engines of innovation, producing world-class talent and research in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biomedical engineering, and data science. This intellectual infrastructure has drawn national and international companies to the region, establishing Pittsburgh as one of the most respected technology hubs in the United States. Robotics firms, autonomous vehicle startups, and AI research labs now occupy the same city blocks that once housed steel mills, symbolizing Pittsburgh’s shift from muscle to mindpower.
