Commitment to Excellence
BT & Co. is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). As a requirement of this membership and the services we provide, every three years CPAs from other firms examine our quality controls. Results of these peer reviews are available to the public, demonstrating that BT & Co. has taken steps to ensure we meet the highest professional standards. We are also members of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center and the AICPA Governmental Audit Quality Center. Center membership demonstrates our firm's commitment to audit quality in these critical areas.
