Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the ‘‘Act’’), notice is hereby given that on December 9, 2008, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the ‘‘Board’’ or the ‘‘PCAOB’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule changes described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared by the Board. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from interested persons. I. Board’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule On December 4, 2008, the Board adopted an amendment to its rule relating to the frequency of inspections. The proposed amendment adds a new paragraph (f) to existing Rule 4003. The text of the proposed amendment is set out below. Language added by the amendment is in italics. Rule 4003. Frequency of Inspections * * * * * (f) With respect to any foreign registered public accounting firm concerning which the preceding provisions of this Rule would set a 2008 deadline for the first Board inspection, such deadline is extended to 2009. II. Board’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule In its filing with the Commission, the Board included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Board has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 18753 A. Board’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule (a) Purpose The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (‘‘the Act’’) directs the Board to conduct a continuing program of inspections to assess registered public accounting firms’ compliance with certain requirements.1 The Act prescribes inspection frequency requirements but also authorizes the Board to adjust the frequency requirements by rule if the Board finds that an adjustment is consistent with the purposes of the Act, the public interest, and the protection of investors.2 Inspection frequency requirements adopted by the Board are set out in PCAOB Rule 4003, ‘‘Frequency of Inspections.’’ The Board began a regular cycle of inspections of U.S. firms in 2004 and has conducted 911 such inspections, including repeat inspections of several firms. Inspections of non-U.S. firms began in 2005, and the Board has inspected 123 non-U.S. firms that have issued audit reports while registered with the Board. Those firms are located in 24 jurisdictions.3 There are, however, 21 non-U.S. firms that have issued audit reports while registered and that Rule 4003 requires the Board to inspect by the end of 2008, but that the Board has not yet inspected. For the reasons described below, the Board has adopted Rule 4003(f) to extend for one year the deadline for the Board to conduct the first inspections of non-U.S. firms that are otherwise required before the end of 2008.4 The PCAOB has recognized since the outset of its inspection program that inspections of non-U.S. firms pose 1 See Section 104(a) of the Act. Section 104(b) of the Act. 3 The Board has inspected non-U.S. firms located in Argentina, Australia, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan R.O.C., and the United Kingdom. 4 Existing Rule 4003 effectively sets deadlines for the Board’s inspections not only of firms that issue audit reports, but also of firms that play a substantial role in the preparation or furnishing of an audit report (as defined in PCAOB Rule 1001(p)(ii)). The Board has previously submitted for Commission approval amendments to Rules 4003(b) and 4003(d) that would eliminate from the Rule any frequency requirement or deadline for the Board to inspect a firm that plays a substantial role but does not issue an audit report. Unless and until the Commission approves such a rule change, however, the one-year extension in proposed rule 4003(f) would (if approved by the Commission) apply to required 2008 PCAOB inspections of non-U.S. firms that have played a substantial role as well as to required 2008 inspections of non-U.S. firms that have issued audit reports. 2 See E:\FR\FM\24APN1.SGM 24APN1
