PCAOB International Institute on Audit Regulation
The PCAOB established the Institute in 2007 to provide regulators from around the world an opportunity to learn about the PCAOB's approaches to auditor oversight that serve to protect the interests of investors and increase the quality of audits.
In 2015, in light of the development of independent oversight around the world over the past decade, the focus of the Institute was changed to promote thought leadership and the sharing of experiences regarding key advancements and issues in global audit oversight.
