FAQs: PCAOB Compliance & Public Company Support

What should I know before undergoing a PCAOB audit?

Before a PCAOB audit begins, it’s important to ensure that your financial records are accurate, well-documented, and structured in compliance with SEC and PCAOB standards. We help companies prepare their accounting systems and reporting processes in advance to reduce risks and prevent delays during the audit.

How do I know if my company falls under PCAOB oversight?

If your company is publicly traded or planning to register with the SEC, PCAOB oversight likely applies. The board regulates audits of public companies to ensure integrity in financial reporting. We help assess your obligations and prepare accordingly.

What’s the difference between PCAOB audits and standard audits?

PCAOB audits involve stricter requirements, such as enhanced internal control evaluations and audit documentation standards. They’re designed to protect investors through greater transparency. We assist in aligning your systems with these heightened expectations.

Why are internal controls important for PCAOB compliance?

Internal controls help ensure that financial reporting is reliable and secure from errors or fraud. During PCAOB audits, these systems are reviewed closely. We evaluate and improve internal controls so they stand up to inspection.

Can I still use our current CPA or audit firm if I need PCAOB support?

Yes. We often work in collaboration with in-house finance teams or existing CPAs to ensure all documentation and processes are ready for PCAOB review. Our role is to strengthen your existing resources, not replace them.

Are there common misconceptions about PCAOB compliance I should be aware of?

Many believe PCAOB compliance only applies after a company goes public, but preparation should begin well before that stage. Another misconception is that it’s only about audit reports—it also includes accounting processes, internal controls, and documentation practices. We provide clarity on these areas from the start.

What are the long-term benefits of maintaining PCAOB compliance?

Consistent PCAOB compliance enhances investor trust, improves corporate governance, and helps avoid regulatory penalties. It also positions companies for smoother audits in the future. We support businesses in building sustainable systems that uphold these standards year after year.
