Reminder: PCAOB Webinar for Investors on International Issues

There is one week left for investment professionals to register for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) webinar addressing international issues, including our recent proposed rule relating to the PCAOB’s responsibilities under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. 

The one-hour webinar will take place at 3:00 p.m. (ET) on June 10, 2021. In addition to investors, press are invited to attend. For those interested in the session who are not investment professionals or media, we will post a replay of the webinar after the event. Please email Erin Dwyer at dwyere@pcaobus.org for registration instructions.

“The PCAOB’s international work is a crucial part of our efforts to enhance audit quality and strengthen investor protections,” said Chairman William D. Duhnke III. “We look forward to discussing our international work with investors and to hearing their questions and concerns during the webinar.”

The webinar will cover:

• PCAOB international inspections;
• The PCAOB’s proposed rule, now open for public comment, related to the PCAOB’s responsibilities under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act;
• How investors can determine if the PCAOB is blocked from inspecting non-U.S. audit firms;
• Differences in U.S. and international regulatory regimes; and
• Q&A from the audience.

Speakers will include Chairman William Duhnke, Director of the Office of International Affairs Liza McAndrew Moberg, and Stakeholder Liaison Erin Dwyer.
