AICPA Peer Review – Cleveland (OH)

Cleveland 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 Cleveland Business Community

State of OhioThe Cleveland business community is rooted in a legacy of industrial innovation and continues to evolve as a center for healthcare, advanced manufacturing, technology, and financial services. Once known primarily for its steel and manufacturing heritage, Cleveland has transformed into a diversified metropolitan economy supported by global corporations, research institutions, and an expanding base of small and mid-sized enterprises. The Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s leading healthcare providers, anchors the region’s medical sector and drives extensive research and innovation in biotechnology, medical devices, and life sciences. University Hospitals and MetroHealth further strengthen the city’s healthcare infrastructure, making health services a cornerstone of the local economy and a magnet for national and international investment.

Manufacturing remains a vital component of Cleveland’s identity, but it has transitioned toward high-tech and precision industries. Companies specializing in aerospace components, automotive systems, polymers, and advanced materials continue to thrive, supported by a robust supply chain and proximity to key Midwestern markets. The Port of Cleveland and the city’s strategic location on Lake Erie provide strong logistical advantages for trade and transportation, connecting local businesses to national and global distribution networks. Financial services, insurance, and professional consulting firms also maintain a strong presence, with key players like KeyBank headquartered in the city and regional offices for national accounting, law, and investment firms bolstering Cleveland’s corporate landscape.
