Session Description

Join SEC Pro for a replay of our recent conversation with PCAOB Board Member Christina Ho on the evolving state of audit quality, perspectives on the future, and what it means for audit and financial reporting professionals.

Explore how the impact of SEC oversight, regulatory shifts, technology, and an evolving profession are shaping expectations for the critical work of auditors, and how that impacts their counterparts in accounting and financial reporting. Christina Ho will share her perspectives on key developments at the PCAOB, her vision for enhancing audit quality, and the growing ripple effect of audit regulation on preparers.  

While the PCAOB has primary oversight of public company auditors, their rules and inspection reports inevitably impact finance and reporting professionals. This session offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from a PCAOB board member about how the profession can stay aligned with evolving audit expectations and the ever important need for quality in audit and financial reporting.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

● Explain recent PCAOB priorities and their implications for audit quality.

● Recognize the downstream impact of audit regulation on preparers and financial reporting teams.

● Evaluate how technology and regulatory changes are reshaping the auditor-preparer relationship.

● Apply insights from PCAOB leadership to strengthen audit quality 

Bring your colleagues and expand your network while staying ahead of today’s most pressing challenges.
