Excerpts

This Compilation has been developed by the AICPA and contains the currently effective Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's (PCAOB) professional standards (which consists of auditing, attestation, quality control, ethics, and independence standards) and related rules applicable to the preparation and issuance of audit reports for issuers, as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Act). In developing this Compilation, the AICPA has updated the PCAOB's Interim Professional Auditing Standards (as described in PCAOB Release No. 2003-006 and contained in the PCAOB Standards, as Amended section) to incorporate the standards issued by the PCAOB and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) through the date of this Compilation. Unless specifically stated in the standards of the PCAOB, the AICPA has not made conforming changes to the PCAOB's Interim Professional Auditing Standards to reflect the requirements and intent of standards issued by the PCAOB and approved by the Commission. Therefore, there may be conflicts between a PCAOB standard and the PCAOB's Interim Professional Auditing Standards; in which case the PCAOB standard should be followed.

Subject to Commission oversight, Section 103 of the Act authorizes the PCAOB to establish auditing and related attestation, quality control, ethics, and independence standards to be used by registered public accounting firms in the preparation and issuance of audit reports as required by the Act or the rules of the Commission. Accordingly, public accounting firms registered with the PCAOB are required to adhere to all PCAOB Standards in the audits of the financial statements of issuers, as defined by the Act, and other entities when prescribed by the rules of the Commission.

Any registered public accounting firm or person associated with such a firm that fails to adhere to applicable PCAOB standards in connection with an audit of the financial statements of an issuer may be the subject of a PCAOB disciplinary proceeding in accordance with Section 105 of the Act. In addition, the Act provides that any violation of the PCAOB's rules is to be treated for all purposes in the same manner as a violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq., or the rules and regulations issued thereunder, and any person violating the PCAOB's rules "shall be subject to the same penalties, and to the same extent, as for a violation of [the Exchange] Act or such rules or regulations."

Rules 201, General Standards, and 202, Compliance With Standards, of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, require a member who performs auditing and other professional services to comply with standards promulgated by bodies designated by AICPA Council. AICPA Council has designated the PCAOB as a body with the authority to promulgate auditing and related attestation standards, quality control, ethics, independence and other standards relating to the preparation and issuance of audit reports for issuers. The AICPA's Professional Ethics Division is able to hold an AICPA member who performs audits of the financial statements of issuers accountable under Rules 201 and 202 of the AICPA Code for complying with PCAOB's auditing and related professional practice standards when performing such audits.
