Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Registered Certified Public Accountants
By Neil Rischall
All Certified Public Accountants (CPA’s), in the US and foreign, that provides audited financial statements for public companies registered with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) must be registered with the Public Company Oversight Board (PCAOB), sometimes referred
to as Peekaboo. The PCAOB is a private-sector, nonprofit corporation that was created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which is under the jurisdiction of the SEC. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the creation of the PCAOB were a result of the fraud scandals of Enron and WorldCom.
Neil Rischall is the CPA behind the CPABookkeepers site which has a wealth of information about audited financial statements as well as all services provided by a Certified Public Accountant.
