If your firm is PCAOB-registered, QC 1000 monitoring isn’t optional. But how you build it? That’s a decision worth thinking through carefully.
In this video, I break down 5 things every PCAOB-registered audit firm should consider before deciding whether to build their QC 1000 system in-house or bring in outside help — including the math on what in-house actually costs when you factor in both salary and opportunity cost.
Here’s what we cover:
0:00 — Intro
0:20 — Point 1: The hours are real (314–420 hrs/year)
0:50 — Point 2: The true cost of in-house (salary + lost billable revenue)
1:30 — Point 3: The hidden tax — the QC 1000 learning curve
2:00 — Point 4: What outside help actually provides
2:30 — Point 5: The 3 questions to make the right call for your firm
2:55 — Close
