Hoyman Dobson Awarded High Rating From AICPA
 
Hoyman Dobson, certified public accountants and business advisors, has successfully completed an independent peer review of its accounting and auditing practice, receiving an "Unmodified Report, Without a Letter of Comment" -- the highest rating possible.
 
The peer review was conducted under professional standards by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). The AICPA mandates that participating certified public accounting firms undergo a quality review of their practice every three years. The independent CPA team that performed the review concluded that Hoyman Dobson complies with the stringent quality control standards set by the AICPA.
 
Reviewers evaluate the firm's compliance regarding several functional areas including technical standards of accounting and auditing practices, hiring policies, staff engagements and professional development.
 
An independent assessment of quality control policies and procedures is conducted, inspecting the working papers and reports on a representative sample of accounting and auditing engagements. Also inspected were administrative files and records, and various personnel were interviewed. As part of the evaluation, a peer reviewer considers what the firm has done to ensure it hires only qualified people, properly supervises them, provides them with professional training and technical resources, and advances them to responsibilities they are capable of handling.
 
Chas Hoyman, Managing Director, said, "This is our 8th Peer Review, and each time our firm has received an unmodified report. I am very proud of our team, their drive for excellence, and the quality service we provide our clients."
