New Peer Review Quality Management Standards

Note: This page was last updated on October 30, 2024.

If you are providing attest services in Indiana, you should be enrolled in Peer Review. If you are not enrolled, please contact the administering entity for Indiana peer review: the Peer Review Alliance.

Firms enrolled in Peer Review must implement QMS standards and be in full compliance by December 15, 2025.

• If you have not yet created a plan or begun implementation, reference resources below to start now. Contact your peer reviewer with questions about implementing a plan.
• If you do not start now, you may not have enough time to be in compliance before the deadline and are running the risk of receiving a failed peer review.
• A failed peer review in Indiana is reported to the Board of Accountancy’s Peer Review Oversight Committee for determination of disciplinary action. (IC 25.1-9-4 Peer Review rating of fail; definitions)
• Indiana Peer Review Rules (872 IAC 1-6 Peer Review, starting on p. 26)
• If you have started your QMS implementation plans and are on track: congratulations! We have additional resources below for your reference.
