Quality review committee

The quality review committee oversees the quality review program and advises the Institute on strategic direction. The program’s policies and procedures are set by the committee, comprised of Chartered Accountants as well as some non-members. The Chartered Accountants include a reviewer and members from a cross-section of public practices varying in size, specialisation and geographical location. The involvement of non-members ensures the program is transparent and helps to protect the public interest.

Examples of policies determined by the committee include:

• Review fees
• Deferrals and exemptions from a review
• Review cycle
• Criteria for review results
