The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires accounting firms to register with the PCAOB in order to prepare, issue, or participate in audit reports of issuers, brokers, and dealers. Non-U.S. accounting firms that furnish, prepare, or play a substantial role in preparing an audit report for any issuer, broker, and dealer also are subject to PCAOB rules.
