CTCPA Town Hall Meeting: The New Quality Management Standards - December 18, 2024
Firms that offer audit and accounting services still have time to successfully implement the new quality management standards, but they must start now to be ready when the standards take effect Dec. 15, 2025.
Keep in mind that firms whose peer review year ends after this date (many reviews are to be performed starting in 2026) will have their systems reviewed under the new quality management standards – firms that fail to comply may not pass their peer review!
In this CTCPA Town Hall Meeting, Jim Brackens, CPA, CGMA, Vice President of Ethics and Practice Quality at the AICPA and Michael L. Brand, CPA, CGMA, a partner with Johnson, Feigley, Newton & Brand joined CTCPA Executive Director and CEO Bonnie Stewart to talk about the big changes – and how you should be preparing now to comply.
