ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Porte Brown LLC, www.PorteBrown.com, a Chicagoland accounting firm, announced today they have received the highest rating possible following a rigorous, independent peer review of their system of quality control for the Accounting and Auditing practices.

The reviewers concluded the firm's system of quality control for the accounting and auditing practices, in effect for the year ending May 31, 2017, has been suitably designed and complied with to provide reasonable assurance of performing and reporting in conformity with applicable professional standards in all material respects.

Porte Brown participates in the Peer Review Program, a practice-monitoring program approved by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the national professional organization of CPAs. A firm participating in the Peer Review Program must have an independent review of its accounting and auditing practice every three years. Firms can receive a rating of pass, pass with deficiencies, or fail. Porte Brown received a peer review rating of pass.

"Quality control is at the core of the Peer Review process," says Russell Wilson, Porte Brown Auditing Partner. "It's an acknowledgement of the people who make up this organization and an endorsement of their professionalism. It confirms they understand both the practices for delivering quality services and the methods to apply them rigorously."

"This independent peer review is yet another assurance we provide Porte Brown clients," says Bruce Jones, Porte Brown Managing Partner. "It's essential our clients remain confident and comfortable knowing their accounting, audit, and financial statement review engagements are performed meticulously and accurately. It also informs prospective clients that our people and methods meet the most rigorous professional requirements in the industry."
