Peer Review Information System Manager (PRISM)

OSCPA is transitioning to the Peer Review Information System Manager (PRISM), a new Web-based system for administering and tracking peer reviews. As we make this transition, you will notice a number of improvements that allow for more efficient and effective peer review administration. While we will continue to provide you with the high level of customer service you expect, we would appreciate your patience and understanding as we transition to this new system over the next few months.

The most significant changes with the new process are:

1. The distribution of all peer review letters and correspondence via email.  The first request for the “Information Required for Scheduling Reviews” form will continue to be mailed in hard copy format, until further notice.  All other correspondence thereafter will be sent via email.  In order to make sure you continue to receive peer review letters and correspondence regarding your firm’s peer review, please refer to the following:
   
   
   • Update the e-mail address for your firm’s managing partner and peer review contact person by calling or e-mailing the peer review team at 800-686-2727 or  peerreview@ohio-cpa.com  (as a reference, please include your firm name and firm number in emails).
     
     
   • Add “OH@prcpa.org” and “peerreview@ohio-cpa.com” to your e-mail safe senders list to ensure you continue to receive peer review information.
     
     
   • Keep in mind that confidential peer review information may be sent to the e-mail addresses you provide.
     
     
   • Prefer not to receive e-mails? You can continue to receive hard-copy correspondence by having a blank e-mail address on file. Note that hard-copy correspondence may delay the processing of your peer review information.
     
     
2. Facilitated State Board Access Website (FSBA) which uses the existing peer review process to facilitate the voluntary disclosure of peer review results to participating state boards of accountancy will now be included on the “Information Required for Scheduling Reviews” form.  By firms having the option to choose whether or not they want their review information posted to the website prior to the commencement of the review, will eliminate the need for a separate hardcopy letter being mailed after the review has been accepted.
