Board Member Christina Ho to Leave the PCAOB

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) today announced that Board Member Christina Ho will conclude her service on the Board effective the earlier of January 31, 2026, or the date the SEC appoints a successor for her position as Board Member. Her term on the Board expired on October 24, 2025.

Board Member Ho was sworn in on November 9, 2021, after her appointment by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in November 2021. During her PCAOB tenure, she chaired the Technology Innovation Alliance Working Group, which brought together professionals from outside of the PCAOB with expertise in emerging technologies.

“In her time at the PCAOB, Christina has championed innovation as a driver of improvement in audit quality,” said PCAOB Acting Chair George R. Botic. “We thank her for her service and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

“I want to extend my gratitude to my fellow Board Members and PCAOB staff with whom I have had the opportunity to work, and I wish much success to the Members of the next Board,” said Board Member Ho.
