PCAOB Announces New Audit Practitioner Fellowship Program

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) today announced the launch of the Audit Practitioner Fellowship Program within the PCAOB’s Office of the Chief Auditor, a new initiative designed to bring additional experienced auditors with recent practical experience to the PCAOB to share their unique expertise with PCAOB staff. 

Participation in the Audit Practitioner Fellowship Program would provide candidates with an opportunity to support the PCAOB’s mission to protect investors. Candidates will be hired for a two-year term to engage with staff in the Office of the Chief Auditor on the PCAOB’s new and existing standards, as well as providing insights into emerging issues.

“This fellowship program will enable the PCAOB to tap into the deep expertise of professionals with in-the-field perspectives on the latest technologies that are reshaping the financial reporting ecosystem,” said PCAOB Chairman Demetrios (Jim) Logothetis. “Their insights will strengthen our ability to anticipate what lies ahead and enhance our understanding of the most pressing issues affecting auditing.”
