Beginning September 2009, the AICPA and MACPA will transition to a new computer system for administering Peer Reviews. Ultimately, the new process should simplify document submission for firms, and it will reduce the overall time period required to complete a Peer Review.

Over the past two years, the MACPA has been involved at varying levels with the development of the new system, Peer Review Information System (PRISM). The system itself is used primarily by the administrator (the MACPA). However, firms will notice some changes, including the ability to communicate via e-mail to a greater degree. Initially, the most significant change will be filling out “background” forms online.

Firms subject to Peer Review should verify that the MACPA has an accurate e-mail address for the Peer Review contact person. Please forward current information to dpickering@michcpa.org.

Questions or concerns about the transition can be directed to the MACPA Peer Review staff. Contact Randy Halleck, assistant director of Peer Review, at rhalleck@michcpa.org.
