As the December 15, 2025 deadline approaches, PCAOB-registered firms must prepare for the changes introduced by QC 1000. In this insightful on-demand webinar, experts from CPAClub break down the key incremental requirements of QC 1000, explain how it differs from the AICPA’s SQMS 1 and share guidance to help firms build a compliant quality control system. 

Viewers will learn: 

• what’s new in QC 1000 and how to interpret the standard’s expanded focus on leadership accountability, independence and engagement quality 

• how the annual evaluation and reporting requirements work 

• best practices for implementing a risk-based approach, assigning QC roles and communicating system performance across your firm 

Designing effective responses to quality risks is central to the AICPA’s new quality management standards and the PCAOB’s updated QC 1000. In this on-demand session, CPAClub’s Brian Yujuico and Caseware’s Rohit Kundu take a deeper dive into the practical side of risk assessment, helping translate regulatory expectations into policies and procedures. 

The webinar breaks down real-world examples of firm-level risks, walks through the process of tailoring responses to your firm’s structure and demonstrates how Caseware SQM can streamline compliance. 

Viewers will learn how to: 

• Identify and assess firm-specific quality risks, with examples across common scenarios 

• Design scalable, tailored responses aligned with firm size, complexity and services 

• Leverage tools and technology, like Caseware SQM, to simplify implementation and meet documentation requirements 

• Apply early lessons learned from firms currently rolling out their system of quality management 

The AICPA’s updated quality management standards (SQMS 1, SQMS 2, SAS 146, and SSARS 26) and the PCAOB’s new QC 1000 standard are reshaping how CPA firms approach risk, governance and audit quality. In this on-demand session, Caseware’s Rohit Kundu joins CPAClub’s Brian Yujuico and Chris Vanover to walk through what these changes mean and how your firm can respond effectively. 

The session offers guidance on identifying and assessing firm-level risks, as well as the process of implementing, documenting and monitoring quality management policies and procedures at your firm. It also includes a walkthrough of Caseware SQM, a cloud-based solution purpose-built to streamline quality management for audit and assurance practices. 

Viewers will learn how to: 

• Recognize key updates in AICPA and PCAOB quality standards and their impact on firm risk and audit quality 

• Apply practical strategies to meet the new compliance requirements 

• Use Caseware SQM, along with CPAClub expertise, to support implementation and ongoing quality monitoring
