KEB continuously subscribes to and meets the highest standards of quality in the profession.  All professional personnel must adhere to independence, integrity and objectivity standards set forth by regulatory agencies.  KEB maintains membership in the Center for Public Company Audit Firms and the Private Companies Practice Section, both with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).  Memberships in these professional organizations require strict adherence to quality control standards, as well as a comprehensive peer review to ensure our compliance with those standards.   

In addition, KEB is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).  This organization was created as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and provides oversight to auditors of public companies to protect investor interests in the preparation of independent audit reports.  This organization also requires an in-depth inspection of our attest services related to clients registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

In addition to these external evaluations and guidelines, KEB has also adopted internal standards relating to professional performance, engagement performance, and personnel management.  As part of this process, each KEB office is annually inspected by KEB members disassociated with that office to ensure compliance with standards and regulations.
