Common financial reporting issues facing smaller companies
14 Jan, 2010
During 2009 the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board hosted a series of Forums on Auditing in the Small Business Environment.
Participants were auditors from smaller registered public accounting firms. At those Forums, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission reviewed common financial reporting issues facing smaller issuers that they have identified during their staff reviews of filings for smaller public companies.
