PRIMA (Peer Review Integrated Management Application)
The Peer Review Integrated Management Application (PRIMA) is the primary tool used by firms, reviewers, and the entities administering peer review to complete the peer review process. PRIMA is accessible to all AICPA and CPA.com customers whose records are linked to a public accounting firm in our records. Access PRIMA via https://prima.aicpa.org
The Peer Review Program offers a PRIMA Help website that can be accessed from the Help link within PRIMA. PRIMA Help contains numerous articles with screenshots and short training videos that are designed to assist users with navigating PRIMA. The AICPA Peer Review support hotline (919.402.4502, press 2) and email support (PRSupport@aicpa.org) are also available to all firms enrolled in the AICPA Peer Review Program and state society programs to provide support in accessing and using PRIMA.

Firm Resources
The AICPA Reviewer Search is a valuable tool for:
- Firms looking for a peer reviewer,
- Firms looking for an outside party to perform consulting services (for example, pre- or post-issuance reviews), and
- Team captains looking for a team member.
The search lists information on the reviewer’s firm and its enrollment in the AICPA Peer Review Program. To begin your search, just answer the short series of questions on this page. Only individuals in enrolled firms that have received a peer review report rating of "Pass" that was accepted within 3 years and 6 months will appear in this search. Peer reviewers are responsible for updating and maintaining their resume information. The AICPA and Administering Entities do not guarantee and are not responsible for the accuracy of the information.
