CPA Peer Review – Columbia (SC)

AICPA Peer Review – Columbia (SC)

Columbia and South Carolina 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 Columbia Business Community

Columbia, South Carolina’s business community is shaped by its role as the state capital and home to major public institutions, which creates a stable base of government, education, and healthcare employment. The University of South Carolina drives research activity, talent development, and startup formation, especially in fields like engineering, cybersecurity, and life sciences. Anchored by a growing medical district and regional hospital networks, the healthcare sector continues to expand both as a top employer and as a source of innovation. Columbia’s central location in South Carolina also positions it as a key logistics and distribution hub, with manufacturers and supply chain operations taking advantage of efficient interstate access to Charleston’s port and other Southeastern markets.

Small businesses and professional service firms are woven throughout the city’s commercial landscape, particularly in revitalized downtown corridors like Main Street and the Vista, where new investment has brought more restaurants, creative companies, and mixed-use development. Public-private partnerships and redevelopment efforts aim to strengthen Columbia’s competitiveness, enhance livability, and attract workforce talent. With its combination of government stability, academic influence, and industrial connectivity, Columbia’s economy balances tradition with growth potential, giving the business community confidence to pursue new opportunities across the region.
