Our System of Quality Control
Our system of quality control for our assurance practice is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our firm and our personnel comply with professional standards and applicable regulatory and legal requirements and that our firm and its engagement partners issue reports that are appropriate in the circumstances. The elements of the system of quality control are established by Statements on Quality Control Standards issued by the AICPA.
Those standards and requirements and our system of quality control encompass:
• Leadership responsibilities for quality control within the firm
• Relevant ethical requirements
• Acceptance and continuance of client relationships and specific engagements
• Human resources
• Engagement performance
• Monitoring
Our system of quality control consists of policies designed to achieve the objectives of the system and the procedures necessary to implement and monitor compliance with those policies. Our firm communicates these policies and procedures in writing and makes the documentation available electronically to all personnel. Our firm requires each individual to be familiar with and comply with these policies and procedures and emphasizes that each individual has a personal responsibility for quality.
