Firm Training required by Report Acceptance Bodies (RABs)
RABs are now required to assign AICPA courses related to Enhancing Audit Quality (EAQ) focus areas (for 2019, this includes auditing estimates, risk assessment, internal control and documentation) as corrective actions or implementation plans when:
- significant deficiencies, deficiencies and findings are identified related to these areas and
- CPE is determined to be the necessary follow up action.
RABs may assign or allow an alternative course if it meets the learning objectives of the AICPA course (as described in the product page of the AICPA’s online store). We would certainly encourage RABs to look first to these courses to help firms remediate issues identified in these areas.

National Peer Review Committee (NPRC)
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 will be subject to the NPRC administrative fee structure.
For more information, go to the NPRC page.
