Effective January 1, 2009, the National Peer Review Committee (NPRC) began administering those peer reviews previously performed by the CPCAF PRP in accordance with the Standards.  For further details, you can download the White Paper.

Firms are required to have their peer review administered by the NPRC if they are required to be registered with and inspected by the PCAOB or if they perform audits of non-SEC issuers pursuant to the standards of the PCAOB.  If your firm is not required to have its review administered by the National PRC, but it chooses to do so, please notify your current administering entity.  Your firm would be subject to the NPRC administrative fee structure for reviews due after July 31, 2010 (or the former structure if your review was due prior to June 30, 2010).  If your firm’s peer review is currently administered by the NPRC but is not required to be (see above) and you wish to change to another administering entity, please email us.

If your firm has been involved in a merger, acquisition, or other firm structure change, please complete the Peer Review Program Change Form and submit it.

If your firm audits any SEC issuers, including broker-dealer issuers, your firm's peer review must be performed by the National PRC.  For details, please read this article.
