Quality Management

Ready to Master QC 1000 and SQMS 1?

With audit deficiencies on the rise, regulators blamed firms’ systems of quality control. As such, they issued QC 1000 (for firms issuing reports under PCAOB auditing standards) and SQMS 1 (for firms issuing reports under U.S. GAAS). Remember the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) for public companies? These quality management standards are on par with that legislation for accounting firms – complex and unavoidable. And time is running out! All firms must comply with these new standards by December 15, 2025.

Want to protect your license, your reputation, and your firm’s future? Mastery of these standards is not optional. Luckily, our engaging and insightful online courses break these rules down into practical steps with real-world examples, so you’re not just compliant, you’re confident!
