Peer Review Process
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.
More information about PRIMA
After the peer reviewer completes his or her work, the MNCPA arranges for a technical review of the peer review documents. After completion of the technical review, the peer review is sent to a Report Acceptance Body (RAB), made up of volunteer members of the MNCPA's Peer Review Committee. The RAB evaluates whether the review has been performed in accordance with standards and the reviewer's report should be accepted and may assign corrective action to the reviewed firm if it judges necessary to ensure that the firm will correct any deficiencies noted.
