Our quality control system includes the following: • A quality control document that dictates the quality control policies of our firm. In many cases, these policies exceed the requirements of standard setters and regulatory bodies. Firm leadership promotes and demonstrates a culture of quality that is pervasive throughout the firm's operations. To monitor our adherence to our policies and procedures, and to foster quality and accuracy in our services, internal inspections are performed annually, • Quality control standards as prescribed by the AICPA. The engagement principal is involved in the planning, fieldwork, and post -fieldwork review. In addition, an appropriately experienced professional performs a risk -based second review of the engagement prior to issuance of the reports. • Hiring decisions and professional development programs designed so personnel possess the competence, capabilities, and commitment to ethical principles, including independence, integrity, and objectivity, to perform our services with due professional care. • An annual internal inspection program to monitor compliance with CLA's quality control policies. Workpapers from a representative sample of engagements are reviewed and improvements to our practices and processes are made, if necessary, based on the results of the internal inspection.
