PEG - Overview

CaseWare® International Inc. licenses the content for PEG 2021 under agreement with the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada).

The content in CaseWare®/CPA Canada PEG Audit, Review, and Compilation is based on the Canadian Professional Engagement Guide (PEG), which is described by CPA Canada as follows:

“PEG is designed to provide practical step-by-step guidance for practitioners and their staff to perform assurance and compilation engagements relating primarily to small and medium-sized entities.

This guide also promotes consistent application of the Canadian Auditing Standards and the Other Canadian Standards (review engagements, compilations and compliance engagements) included in the CPA Canada Handbook – Assurance, Post-Auditor Reporting.

This publication was created to help practitioners achieve the following:

  • Conduct high-quality, cost-effective small and medium-sized entity assurance and compilation engagements in compliance with professional standards.
  • Inform, educate and train professional accountants and students.
  • Better serve the public interest.”

“PEG is not intended as a substitute for reading and understanding the relevant professional standards contained in the CPA Canada Handbook – Assurance, Post-Auditor Reporting, nor is it a substitute for the application of professional judgment required by practitioners.”
