Statement In Support Of Technology-Assisted Analysis Amendments, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Washington D.C., Aug. 20, 2024
Date 20/08/2024
Technology is everywhere. As I was driving last week, I remembered how road trips used to require paper maps with highlighted routes – ones that didn’t tell you exactly where you made a wrong turn or how to fix it. And likewise, when I was in school, research that used to take hours at the library across multiple media – including sitting at a microfiche reader and scrolling through old clips – now takes place in a matter of minutes.

Statement In Support Of Amendments To Update Accountability For Contributing To Firm Violations, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Washington D.C., Aug. 20, 2024
Date 20/08/2024
I am happy to be here today to discuss three important rules coming out of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The work of auditors is crucial to investor confidence in the market. Auditors are external accountants that provide the public with assurance that a company’s financial statements, and the controls that produce those statements, are reliable. They exercise due professional care, skepticism, and are subject to independence requirements to mitigate conflicts of interest—conflicts that exist by virtue of clients paying them to conduct audits. Because the work of auditors is such an important cornerstone of market confidence and integrity, it is equally important that we have in place a meaningful system of rules and regulations for the audit profession. Without such rules, the accuracy and reliability of financial statements would disintegrate – eroding with it investor trust in our entire market. The PCAOB, with its specialized expertise, independently oversees that system of rules, and in so doing, also provides a crucial market function.
