Quality Assurance

LaPorte complies with the AICPA’s quality control requirement for a peer review of our accounting and auditing practice every three years. Peer reviews consist of extensive examinations of quality control systems and procedures. Completed in 2022, we received a pass opinion on our peer review. 

CURRENT PEER REVIEW REPORT

Founded in 2007 and affiliated with AICPA, the CAQ is dedicated to enhancing investor confidence and public trust in the global capital markets by fostering high quality performance by public company auditors; convening and collaborating with other stakeholders to advance the discussion of critical issues requiring action and intervention; and advocating policies and standards that promote public company auditors’ objectivity, effectiveness, and responsiveness to dynamic market conditions.

Established by the AICPA, this firm-based voluntary membership center exists to promote the quality of employee benefit plan audits through the timely communication of regulatory developments, best practices guidance, and technical updates. As a member, LaPorte employee benefit plan managers must complete a minimum of eight hours of employee benefit plan-specific continuing professional education (CPE) within each three-year period.

Established by the AICPA, voluntary membership in these organizations as well as in the CAQ demonstrates our special commitment to high professional standards. PCPS provides a rich array of valuable information and resources to member accounting firms to keep us apprised of technical issues that affect the profession. The PCPS also provides members with tools to deal with new standards and acts as the voice of the local and regional firm by representing small firm interests with groups such as Technical Issues Committee, which meets with the FASB and GASB annually.

Joining the center demonstrates our commitment to quality in the performance of governmental audits. Our firm can access resources designed to enhance audit quality and assist us in applying audit best practices. Other benefits of membership include: periodic updates on current issues through news alerts and webcasts, an online forum for member interaction and information-sharing, and a single voice representing our clients’ interests in performing quality governmental audits.
