Most every CPA firm maintains a system of quality control. At Sherb & Co., LLP, we believe that quality control is such a critical component to our success and the success of our clients, that we decided to share our policies with you.
Quality Control at Sherb & Co., LLP
Prior to the completion of every attest engagement, key information regarding the engagement is gathered and passed along with those reports to be issued by us, to our Quality Control (QC) Department (a Functional Division of the Firm). There, the information and reports submitted are subjected to an intense quality review and approval process where an engagement is either completed and the relevant report(s) issued, or the workpapers and report(s) are returned to the engagement team to clear QC Department comments and clarify any issues that may be identified. In accordance with our firm's strict quality control procedures, only those reports that comply with current accounting, S.E.C. (if appropriate) and other statutory requirements may be "released."
Furthermore, to ensure that our quality controls are maintained at the highest of standards, we undergo a thorough review of our system by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) at least every 3 years. And as part of our participation in the S.E.C. Practice Section, we undergo a thorough Peer Review of our quality control standards and control procedures every three years.
Results that Count
As testament to our commitment to the quality control process, we received a "clean opinion" in our most recent peer review report dated October 2009.
