Peer Review

Peer review is a review performed pursuant to a set of rules established by the Board. The peer review process monitors certain firms’ compliance with applicable accounting and auditing standards adopted by generally recognized standard-setting bodies. The Oklahoma Accountancy Board has adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ "Standards for Performing and Reporting on Peer Reviews," as its minimum standards for peer review of registrants.

Any firm (including sole proprietors) holding a permit from the OAB that performs any audit, review, agreed-upon procedures, or compilation engagement must participate in an OAB approved sponsoring organization's peer review program or complete the compilation carve-out. Firms must schedule and begin an additional peer review within three years of the previous peer review due date, or earlier as may be required by the sponsoring organization. Registrants who are actively involved only in the supervision or review of compilations engagements must complete 4 hours of Compilations only activities annually OR be enrolled in a Board-approved peer review program. This does not negate the need to be enrolled in a peer review program if the registrant also performs other attest services.

In the event a firm does not comply with established professional standards, or a firm's professional work is so inadequate as to warrant disciplinary action, the OAB shall take appropriate action to protect the public interest.

Any report or document required to be submitted to the OAB shall be made available to the Board by a secure website or other secure means unless the sponsoring organization does not have access to a secure website or other secure means. In such case the report may be directly submitted by the firm within 30 (thirty) days of receipt from the sponsoring organization.

  • There is no fee required for submission of pass reports.
  • A $100 fee is required for every pass with deficiencies or fail report submitted.

  • Pass reports - A copy of the report and the final letter of acceptance from the sponsoring organization.
  • Pass With Deficiencies reports – A copy of the report, letter of response, conditional letter of acceptance outlining prescribed corrective actions and their due dates, and the final letter of acceptance from the sponsoring organization.
  • Fail reports – A copy of the report, letter of response, conditional letter of acceptance outlining prescribed corrective actions and their due dates, and the final letter of acceptance from the sponsoring organization.

  • Enroll in Peer Review Program - Within 12 months of first attest engagement.
  • Provide OAB with first peer review report due date - Within 30 days of receiving peer review due date from sponsoring organization.
  • Have a peer review completed - Within 18 months of the year end of the year when the first engagement was performed.

Title 74 Oklahoma Statues, Section 212A.B. requires individuals and firms to satisfy the Oklahoma Accountancy Board that they have met the requirements of Government Auditing Standards for continuing education and participation in an external quality review program. The registrants are also required to hold valid permits to practice. The Government Audit list reflects the registrants who have made such a declaration to the Board. This list is then provided to the State Auditor & Inspector.

This declaration must be done yearly with a renewal period running from November through December. Interim registration is allowed. There is no fee to register.
