Abstract
An AICPA peer review checklist was modified to determine the extent of compliance with auditing standards on 68 audit engagements spread over 12 smaller audit firms. A quality control checklist was completed by each firm to identify the quality control policies and procedures they had adopted. The research study identified a lack of formalised quality controls and instances where informal procedures did not exist. A high level of non-compliance with the standards of fieldwork was also identified.
