Ross Roundtable: What's the PCAOB Doing?
Featuring Jim Doty, the new PCAOB chair
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the “auditors’ auditor,” is an important public institution set up in 2002 by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The PCAOB has oversight over the public accounting firms auditing U.S. companies, audits these firms and sets auditing standards. Despite the economic importance of the PCAOB, not much is known about its operations, impact on the economy, and future plans. This Ross roundtable aims to fill the knowledge gap.
Jim Doty, the new PCAOB chair, will be among the presenters at the roundtable, where industry experts, scholars, professionals and journalists will convene to debate:
Date: November 28, 2011
Location: NYU Stern, 44 West Fourth St., Henry Kaufman Management Center, Abbe-Bogen Faculty Lounge (Rm. 11-185)
Time: 4:00-6:00 p.m.
CPE credits: 2
