PROC presses for better tracking after missed consecutive non‑pass peer reviews
Summary
Committee members said gaps in tracking redacted peer‑review files have left PROC unaware of at least one firm with consecutive non‑passes; staff and OSCPA were asked to assign stable identifiers and bring updated materials to the August agenda.
The Oregon Board of Accountancy Peer Review Oversight Committee (PROC) said it needs a more reliable way to track firms that receive consecutive non‑pass peer‑review results after members failed to locate documentation for at least one firm they have been monitoring.
"We can't find the details of it or when they're gonna be discussed at RAB," Chair Brenda Bartlett said, explaining that redacted PDFs and missing identifiers make follow‑up difficult. Darlene Bowles, the OSCPA peer review program representative, confirmed there are firms with corrective actions and cited specific due dates for those actions. "Once the corrective actions come back in, then the RAB will go through the analysis of, do we refer them to the AICPA?" Bowles said.
Members urged a process fix. "There has to be a better way for us to support this committee around the tracking around this stuff," one committee member said, recommending the committee reinstate a tracker or assign semantic identifiers so files can be followed across meetings and years. Staff agreed to provide clearer, persistent identifiers and update PROC materials. The committee tabled the specific case until staff and OSCPA locate and deliver the redacted records for review at the next PROC meeting.
