On May 22, 2019, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) released a staff guidance document, "A Deeper Dive on the Communication of CAMs", developed to support implementation of the new critical audit matter requirements.

This document was informed by discussions with auditors regarding their experiences conducting dry runs of CAMs with their audit clients, the staff’s review of methodologies submitted by 10 U.S. audit firms that collectively audit approximately 85% of large accelerated filers, and other outreach efforts.

Review the staff guidance on the PCAOB's website.
