The formulas

  • Initial: 18 months from the earlier of the enrollment date and the date the firm should have enrolled
  • Subsequent: three years and six months from the previous peer review year-end
  • Resigned firm with an engagement after its next due date passed: 18 months from that engagement's year-end (report date for forecasts, projections and agreed-upon procedures)

How it works

A firm's initial peer review is due 18 months from the date it enrolled in the AICPA Peer Review Program or should have enrolled, whichever is earlier. A firm should enroll by the report date of its first engagement that requires peer review. Each subsequent review has a due date three years and six months from the year-end of the previous review.

A firm that resigns and then performs an engagement needing peer review within three years and six months of its prior review year-end reenrolls, and its current review is due on the later of the original due date or 90 days after reenrolling. If that engagement comes after the next due date has passed, the review is due 18 months from the engagement's year-end. The administering entity sets the final due date after looking at the firm's practice and engagement year-ends, and state boards can add their own rules.

Common questions

What is the due date for a December 31 review year-end?

June 30 three and a half years later, which is 42 months after the previous peer review year-end.

What if the firm cannot finish by the due date?

Request an extension from the administering entity before the due date, at least 60 days before it where you can. The program does not expect to grant requests made after the due date.
