LA CROSSE — Hawkins Ash CPAs recently announced that it has successfully completed a peer review of its accounting and auditing practice and received the highest mark possible: a pass. The independent reviewer concluded that Hawkins Ash CPAs complies with the stringent quality control standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), a national professional organization of CPAs.

“We value the peer review process. It benefits our clients, and the results prove our entire staff is committed to providing services that meet the highest quality standards,” said Randy Miller, partner and chairperson of the Quality Control Committee at Hawkins Ash CPAs.

Carried out in conjunction with the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants and overseen by the AICPA, the peer review program requires CPA firms to have a thorough, outside review of their accounting and auditing practice once every three years. These reviews determine whether a firm has suitable quality control policies and procedures over its accounting and auditing practice and is complying with them.
