CPA Peer Review – Richmond (VA)

AICPA Peer Review – Richmond (VA)

Richmond and Virginia 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 Richmond Business Community

Richmond’s business community blends historic economic roots with a growing reputation for innovation and corporate leadership. As Virginia’s capital, the city’s economy benefits from a strong public sector presence alongside a major concentration of legal, banking, and insurance firms. Financial services play a defining role, with Fortune 500 companies like Capital One, Dominion Energy, and Altria contributing to a stable corporate base and ongoing investment. The city’s central location on the East Coast fuels its competitiveness in logistics and distribution, with advanced manufacturing and supply chain operations leveraging strong highway and rail networks.

The presence of universities and medical institutions energizes research, healthcare expansion, and workforce development, while creative industries contribute to a vibrant entrepreneurial scene that has taken root in neighborhoods like Scott’s Addition and Manchester. Startups in technology, advertising, and food and beverage production benefit from business-friendly incentives and lower operating costs compared to larger coastal metros. As downtown redevelopment advances and new residential, retail, and commercial spaces continue to rise, Richmond positions itself as a place where established companies and innovators can grow side by side.
