CPA Peer Review – Cincinnati (OH)

AICPA Peer Review – Cincinnati (OH)

Cincinnati and Ohio 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 Cincinnati Business Community

The Cincinnati business community is defined by its balance of legacy industries and emerging innovation. At its core, the city remains a hub for major corporations, with Fortune 500 companies like Kroger, Procter & Gamble, and Fifth Third Bank anchoring the economy and providing stability across retail, consumer goods, and financial services. These large employers are supported by a strong ecosystem of small and midsized businesses that fuel local entrepreneurship, particularly in areas like professional services, healthcare, logistics, and advanced manufacturing. Cincinnati’s central location along the Ohio River and its proximity to major interstates and freight rail make it an important logistics and distribution center, helping local companies access markets across the Midwest and beyond.

Cincinnati has gained recognition for its growing startup culture, supported by organizations such as Cintrifuse, CincyTech, and the StartupCincy network, which provide venture capital, mentorship, and community connections. The city has also invested heavily in redeveloping its urban core, with neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine becoming attractive destinations for creative firms, restaurants, and tech startups. Healthcare is another vital part of the business community, with institutions like Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center not only serving the region but also driving research and biotech innovation.
