PCAOB on-line registration of accounting firms
18 Jul 2003
The US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has activated its On-Line Registration System for firms that audit US listed companies.
All US public accounting firms must be registered with the Board if they wish to prepare or issue audit reports on US public companies, or to play a substantial role in the preparation or issuance of such reports, after 22 October 2003. Non-US public accounting firms that wish to prepare or issue audit reports on US public companies, or to play a substantial role in the preparation or issuance of such reports, must be registered by 19 April 2004.
