Interpretations
of the Standards for Performing and Reporting on Peer Reviews
are developed in open meetings by the AICPA Peer Review Board
for peer reviews of firms enrolled in the AICPA peer review program.
Interpretations of the Standards need not be exposed for comment
and are not the subject of public hearings. These Interpretations
are applicable to firms enrolled in the peer review program, individuals
and firms who perform and report on peer reviews, state CPA societies
that participate in the administration of the program, associations
of CPA firms that assist their members in arranging and carrying
out peer reviews, and the AICPA peer review program staff.
