PRIMA Assistance

PRIMA is run by the AICPA, and help with using PRIMA or PRIMA related questions is provided by the AICPA. The AICPA peer review team has a dedicated hotline for PRIMA related questions and problems.

Tips to try prior to calling:

• Try PRIMA Help, which has step-by-step instructions with screenshots and videos within PRIMA. For information on how to access the PRIMA Help, click here.
• Make sure your internet browser is up-to-date and/or try to complete the task in another browser. To see a list of compatible browsers please see the Getting Started in PRIMA resource published by AICPA. The most up-to-date version of Chrome has worked the best.
