When Is It the Reviewer’s Job to Fix Preparer Errors?

QUESTION: Your book recommends having the preparer fix all errors. However, this is not always possible and our main concern is to get the returns out, so we usually have the reviewer make the changes, except if it looks like there will be extensive changes. Isn’t this the way we should do it?

RESPONSE: I receive the most comments about this issue, so I usually spend a lot of time rethinking this.
