PCAOB Proves It Has Teeth
While some companies are unfamiliar with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), PCAOB has recently been making its presence known. PCAOB is a private-sector nonprofit corporation created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), whose stated purpose is to "oversee the audit of public companies that are subject to the securities laws, and related matters, in order to protect the interests of investors ... " Section 101(a). Although some questioned whether PCAOB would ultimately have any real-world impact on accounting firms and the public issuers they audit, PCAOB has proven that it has the authority, ability and appetite to shape the heightened environment in which companies now operate following passage of SOX and its focus on restoring investor confidence in companies' financial reporting.
