CPA Peer Review – Baltimore (MD)

AICPA Peer Review – Baltimore (MD)

Baltimore and Maryland 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 Baltimore Business Community

CIty of Baltimore The Baltimore business community is a blend of historic industry, modern innovation, and deep regional influence, shaped by its strategic location on the Mid-Atlantic coast and its legacy as a center of commerce and manufacturing. Once one of America’s leading industrial and shipping hubs, Baltimore has steadily transformed into a diverse metropolitan economy anchored by healthcare, education, logistics, technology, and professional services. Its position between Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia provides access to major markets, while the Port of Baltimore remains one of the busiest and most efficient in the United States, supporting international trade, logistics, and manufacturing operations that link local companies to the global economy.

At the heart of Baltimore’s economic landscape is the healthcare and life sciences sector, driven by world-renowned institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and the University of Maryland Medical System. These anchor institutions not only provide thousands of high-skilled jobs but also serve as catalysts for biotechnology startups and medical research ventures that position Baltimore as a growing life sciences hub. The concentration of academic and research talent has attracted investment in medical technology, pharmaceuticals, and public health innovation, while partnerships between universities, private firms, and government agencies have strengthened the region’s innovation ecosystem.
