PRIMA

The peer review process is completed through the use of the AICPA's Peer Review Integrated Management Application (PRIMA) system. PRIMA is an all-electronic, interactive system.

PRIMA is used by the reviewed firm to complete Peer Review Information (PRI), submit scheduling information (SCH), accomplish review (RVW) tasks, such as responding to Matters for Further Consideration and Findings for Further Consideration, submit evidence of completion of required corrective actions (COA), and to receive peer review related correspondence.

PRIMA collects and stores information and documents related to the peer review through a series of workflows involving various parties, including the reviewed firm's Managing Partner and Peer Review Contact, the peer reviewer, the administering entity, and a technical reviewer.

Please add prima@aicpa.org to your list of safe senders. All PRIMA emails are sent from this address.
