PCAOB Taps Wilson, Pauk to Head Chicago, Denver units

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board named former Ernst & Young partners Greg Wilson and Michael Pauk to head its branch units in Chicago and Denver, respectively. Wilson, a deputy director of inspections, is a retired E&Y audit partner and served in a number of management and administrative posts with the Big Four firm, including directing the audit practice in E&Y's Chicago office and serving as a regional director of human resources. Pauk, a regional associate deputy inspector who most recently operated his own consulting practice, was an E&Y partner in both the Denver practice office and the Cleveland national office. The regional offices support the oversight body's audit inspections program, which is headquartered in Washington. In addition to Denver and Chicago, the PCAOB has offices in New York, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, and Orange County, California.
