The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has released some details about the hearing to be held in Houston later this week.
In addition to addressing topics raised at previous meetings, the 10/18 event will include discussion of practical challenges related to firm rotation (and any factors that might mitigate, or exacerbate, them); the role of the audit committee in enhancing auditor independence and professional skepticism; and the potential impact of approaches other than rotation on professional skepticism. In addition, academics will discuss research pertinent to the issues raised in the concept release.
