Heads Up - PCAOB Adopts Changes to the Auditor’s Report
On June 1, 2017, the PCAOB adopted a new auditing standard on the auditor’s report (the “standard” or “release”). This Heads Up provides an overview of the PCAOB’s new auditing standard on the auditor’s report. While retaining the current “pass/fail” opinion of the existing auditor’s report, the new standard includes several significant modifications that are intended to increase the informational value, usefulness, and relevance of the auditor’s report.
