At Nov. 14 Open Meeting, PCAOB to Consider Adopting a Rule Amendment to Enhance the PCAOB’s Registration Program

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) will hold an open meeting on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

At the meeting, the Board will consider adopting a proposed rule amendment aimed at enhancing the PCAOB’s registration program. If adopted, the amendment would establish a new procedural mechanism that will enable the Board to address situations in which a registered firm has ceased to exist, is nonoperational, or no longer wishes to remain registered, as demonstrated by its failures to file annual reports on PCAOB Form 2 and pay annual fees for at least two consecutive reporting years.
