Board Solicits Standing Advisory Group Nominations

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is soliciting nominations and re-nominations for members of its Standing Advisory Group.

The Standing Advisory Group was created in 2003 to assist the Board in carrying out its standards-setting responsibilities. The Board values the diversified expertise of the group, and its input is utilized in developing standards. The group consists of 31 members with expertise in a variety of fields, including accounting, auditing, corporate finance, corporate governance, and investing in public companies.

The Board solicits nominations and re-nominations annually and is currently seeking to fill 15 positions. Appointments are for two-year terms. Members will be selected by the Board based on nominations, including self-nominations, received from any person or organization. Current members, with terms expiring this year, may be re-nominated for another term. The nomination forms are available under Standards on the Board’s Web site, www.pcaobus.org. The deadline for submissions is June 15, 2007.

Appointments will be announced by the end of October, and the new terms will begin in January 2008. Membership in the advisory group is personal to the member, and the duties and responsibilities of the member cannot be delegated to others. Members will be subject to certain sections of the Board’s Ethics Code, as well as other conditions provided in PCAOB Rule 3700, a rule on the formation of advisory groups.

The group, chaired by the Board’s Chief Auditor and Director of Professional Standards, Thomas Ray, meets approximately three times a year.
