CPA Peer Review – Minneapolis (MN)

AICPA Peer Review – Minneapolis (MN)

Minneapolis and Minnesota 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 Minneapolis Business Community

The Minneapolis business community is one of the most dynamic and diversified in the Midwest, driven by a mix of Fortune 500 corporations, innovative startups, and a strong professional-services base. Anchored by its historic leadership in retail, finance, and healthcare, the city continues to reinvent itself as a hub for technology, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing. Major employers such as Target, U.S. Bank, 3M, General Mills, and Best Buy have deep roots in the region, creating an ecosystem that blends corporate stability with a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit. The University of Minnesota contributes significantly through research partnerships, technology transfer, and workforce development, while the state’s emphasis on education and infrastructure helps maintain a high quality of life and business climate.

The city’s downtown core and North Loop district have seen steady revitalization, attracting professional-services firms, coworking spaces, and creative agencies. Venture capital investment has grown steadily, particularly in health technology, agtech, and fintech startups, many of which benefit from Minneapolis’s proximity to major healthcare systems like Mayo Clinic and UnitedHealth Group. The area’s strong logistics infrastructure, with access to major interstate routes, rail, and the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport, supports regional and national trade, while the Mississippi River continues to serve as an important economic artery for transport and commerce.
