Atkins emphasizes efficient stewardship and minimizing costs to PCAOB-funded companies, brokers, and dealers.
“I strongly encourage applications from candidates interested in furthering the public interest through the efficient stewardship of PCAOB resources.”
Atkins describes the PCAOB's oversight functions over public company and broker-dealer audits.
“The PCAOB was established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) and oversees the audits of the financial statements of public companies, brokers, and dealers through registration, standard-setting, inspection, and disciplinary programs.”
Atkins specifies the PCAOB seat requires non-CPAs and runs through October 2031.
“Only individuals who have never been a certified public accountant are eligible to serve in this seat, which is for a term ending on October 24, 2031.”
