PCAOB Publishes New Research and Standard-Setting Project Pages

The PCAOB today published new web pages on the PCAOB research and standard-setting projects.  

The PCAOB staff prepared these pages to promote accessibility and transparency into the PCAOB’s research and standard-setting projects. Each individual project page describes the project’s objective, background, and status, as well as includes relevant discussions and materials from past PCAOB meetings, dockets, proposals, and other activities.

The PCAOB staff will communicate updates to its research and standard-setting projects through these web pages instead of through the quarterly Standard-Setting Update. 

Interested parties can also sign up to receive email updates about the research and standard-setting projects.
