Three From The PCAOB, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Washington D.C., Aug. 20, 2024
Date 20/08/2024
Today, we are considering three proposals—one rule and two standards—from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The auditor’s calling is fundamental to the health of the capital markets. For this reason, we want to ensure that the standards and rules governing auditors are clear and sensible, do not rob auditors of their confidence to exercise judgment, and that they facilitate auditors’ focus on the critical job of ensuring that financial statements are reliable. The Commission’s review of the PCAOB’s rules and standards is integral to the process that Congress established to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the PCAOB’s work.
