PEER REVIEW
The California Board of Accountancy now requires all Certified Public Accountants and Accounting Firms to go through the Peer Review process. We are no longer providing Attestation Services (Compilation, Review or Audit), therefore we are not required to participate in the Peer Review process. Even though we have the experience to provide such services, we have decided that the Peer Review process is cost prohibitive for us to offer these services.
Therefore, we will be offering a lower designation of financial statement services, known as Preparation Engagement services. It is a basic financial statement used to prepare tax returns and/or for management to use for it purposes. This financial statement has no attached report.
