PCAOB to host small issuer events

As you may know, the PCAOB is reaching out to small companies with two events in October. One forum is set for Oct. 1, at the Sofitel Hotel in Chicago. The second is set for The Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia on Oct. 30. West coasters and southerners may feel left out. Hopefully, there will be more. These events may or may not generate real news. Hopefully, transcripts and summaries will be made available to all. The board has just released an agenda, which includes staff from the SEC's Division of Corporate Finance speaking about common small issuers concerns, including implementation of the SEC's guidance for compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. Also, the board will provide updates on various accounting and auditing issues, auditing standards-setting activities, and inspections activities. In addition, a panel will discuss what audit committees ought to know about the PCAOB.
