Course Description

Regardless of when your next peer review is happening, every engagement needs to meet the standards. Is your firm executing audit steps using the methodology, technology, and forms at the highest level to ensure every engagement passes?

This session will discuss the current environment of peer review, including the areas of focus of peer reviewers, and how to utilize Thomson Reuters cloud-based audit software to facilitate compliance. They will also share real-world examples of peer review comments received by firms and discuss what firms can do to remediate them now and avoid them in the future.

Learning Objectives:


  • List the topics that are the areas of focus of peer reviewers

  • Identify ways to avoid such comments on your next peer review

  • Determine best practices and share ideas with other members of your audit teams
