About Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) is a private-sector nonprofit corporation created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to oversee accounting professionals who prepare independent audit reports for publicly traded companies. Its oversight also extends to audits of SEC-registered brokers and dealers, and the Securities and Exchange Commission reviews and approves its budget and rules. Its core functions include registering public accounting firms, setting auditing, quality control, ethics and independence standards, inspecting registered firms, and investigating and disciplining them for violations. Its headquarters is in Washington, D.C.
The PCAOB operates as a regulatory oversight body rather than a law practice. Its official contact page lists a New York office at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10020, alongside its Washington headquarters and offices in several other states. Its public materials include firm inspection reports, enforcement actions, and the AuditorSearch database.
