Peer Review

A peer review is an external quality assurance process where other auditors evaluate an audit organization’s compliance with professional auditing standards. A peer review is required by Government Auditing Standards (GAS), or the "Yellow Book," every three years. The purpose of the peer review is to ensure the audit organization's internal quality control system is effective, follows policies and procedures and professional auditing standards. Virginia Beach City Public Schools Department of Internal Audit (IA) participates in the Peer Review Program offered by the Association of Local Government Auditors (ALGA). Through this program IA receives peer review services through ALGA from other local government audit professionals, in exchange for participating in peer reviews of other local government organizations.
