Event Synopsis:
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), “a nonprofit corporation established by Congress to oversee the audits of public companies in order to protect investors and the public interest by promoting informative, accurate, and independent audit reports,” has published its Staff Inspection Brief providing information on the main areas of its inspection. Among the key areas of focus are the preparation for new accounting standards and compliance with new transparency rules. The Board will also target financial reporting areas requiring significant judgment.
Furthermore, as the Board adopts a new auditor reporting standard, potential impacts on auditor’s PCAOB compliance should be expected. Although the new standard is still subject to SEC approval, public companies and their audit committees should start discussing their approach in warding off potential compliance risks and loopholes.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help firms understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the recent trends and developments relating to auditor’s compliance with PCAOB. Speakers will also offer best compliance practices in light of the key areas of focus for the PCAOB.
Key topics include:
-Recent Trends and Developments
-Main Areas of Focus for the PCAOB
-The New Auditor Reporting Standard
-Notable Cases
-Best Compliance Practices
