PCAOB Shares Perspectives From 2023 Conversations With Audit Committee Chairs

Today the PCAOB released a new staff Spotlight publication, “2023 Conversations With Audit Committee Chairs(PDF).”

Engaging directly and regularly with audit committees is a priority for the PCAOB. Audit committees and the PCAOB share the goal of driving audit quality by exercising appropriate oversight of external auditors. 

In 2023, the PCAOB spoke with more than 200 audit committee chairs. PCAOB staff prepared this publication to present high-level observations and takeaways from those conversations.
