Implementing the New Quality Management Standards: Time To Get To Work

The Statement on Quality Management Nos. 1 and 2 mandates that any firm involved in SSARS, SAS, or SSAE engagements must develop and implement a System of Quality Management (SQM) by December 15, 2025—a deadline that's approaching fast. The SQM will replace the current quality control system that underpins peer reviews. The AICPA is growing increasingly concerned about the slow progress firms are making in developing their SQM, with many not even aware of the SQM requirements!
