PCAOB Webinar to Offer Update on Inspections of Broker/Dealer Audits

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s first 2016 webinar will cover the latest findings in the board’s interim inspection program for auditors of brokers and dealers.

The webinar will take place Monday, January 11, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST.

"This interactive webinar is an opportunity for broker-dealer auditors to hear from the PCAOB and to provide feedback on developments in the regulatory landscape," said Mary Sjoquist, director of the PCAOB Office of Outreach and Small Business Liaison, in a statement.

"Webinars held this year were well received by the firms that attended and I encourage further participation next year," said PCAOB Chairman James Doty in a statement. "In 2016, we will continue our use of webinars to provide timely and targeted information to auditors and other interested parties."

The webinar is open to members of PCAOB-registered firms. There is no fee, but attendees must preregister by Thursday, Jan. 7, 2016. For more information and to register, click here.
