PCAOB proposal on elimination of a material weakness
01 Apr 2005

The proposed standard would establish a voluntary, stand-alone engagement that would be performed at the election of the company. Comments are due 16 May 2005. If the PCAOB does adopt a final standard, it will be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for approval. The proposed rule may be Downloaded from the PCAOB's Website (Docket No. 018).
