Order Approving Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board
Supplemental Budget Request To
Establish an Office of Outreach and
Small Business Liaison in 2010
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 1 (the
‘‘Sarbanes-Oxley Act’’) established the
Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (the ‘‘PCAOB’’) to oversee the
audits of companies and related matters,
to protect investors, and to further the
public interest in the preparation of
informative, accurate and independent
audit reports. The PCAOB is to
accomplish these goals through
registration of public accounting firms
and standard setting, inspection, and
disciplinary programs. Section 109 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act directs the
PCAOB to establish a budget for each
fiscal year in accordance with the
PCAOB’s internal procedures, subject to
approval by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’).
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
related to its Informal and Other
Procedures includes a rule to facilitate

Deadline for notices to intervene (see 39 CFR 3001.111(b)).
Deadline for Petitioner’s Form 61 or initial brief in support of petition (see 39 CFR 3001.115(a)

Deadline for answering brief in support of Postal Service (see 39 CFR 3001.115(c)).
Deadline for reply briefs in response to answering briefs (see 39 CFR 3001.115(d)).
Deadline for motions by any party requesting oral argument; the Commission will schedule
oral argument only when it is a necessary addition to the written filings (see 39 CFR
3001.116).
Expiration of the Commission’s 120-day decisional schedule (see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)).
of PCAOB budgets.2 This budget rule
provides, among other things, a
timetable for the preparation and
submission of the PCAOB budget, limits
on the PCAOB’s ability to incur
expenses and obligations except as
provided in the approved budget, and
procedures relating to supplemental
budget requests. In accordance with the
Commission’s budget rule, the PCAOB
submitted to the Commission a budget
for calendar year 2010 that was
approved by the Commission on
December 22, 2009.3
Effective July 21, 2010, Section 982 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act 4 (the ‘‘DoddFrank Act’’) amended the SarbanesOxley Act to authorize the PCAOB,
among other things, to establish, subject
to approval by the Commission,
auditing and related attestation, quality
control, ethics, and independence
standards to be used by registered
public accounting firms with respect to
the preparation and issuance of audit
reports to be included in broker-dealer
filings with the Commission.5 In light of
this new authority, the PCAOB
reassessed its communications and
outreach strategy.
As a result of this reassessment, the
PCAOB intends to enhance its outreach
function by establishing a new Office of
Outreach and Small Business Liaison
(‘‘Office of Outreach’’) to act as a liaison
between the PCAOB and any PCAOBregistered public accounting firm, or
2 17 CFR 202.190. See Release No. 33–8724 (July
18, 2006) [71 FR 41998 (July 24, 2006)].

any other person affected by the Board’s
regulatory activities, including in
particular, entities in the small business
community, such as the auditors of
broker-dealers. In order to establish this
office in 2010, the PCAOB is required
under the budget rule to submit a
supplemental budget request for
Commission approval.6 Pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the budget rule,
on October 28, 2010, the PCAOB
submitted to the Commission a
supplemental budget request seeking
approval to establish the Office of
Outreach in 2010.7
The Board believes that the creation
of the Office of Outreach would not
result in a net cost increase in 2010. To
the extent that any unanticipated costs
emerge, the PCAOB proposes to
accommodate them from within
available funds currently budgeted for
the Office of Communications in 2010.
Costs associated with the Office of
Outreach in future years will be
considered by the Commission as part of
its review of the PCAOB budgets for
those years.
Staff from the Commission’s Offices of
the Chief Accountant and Executive
Director reviewed and analyzed the
PCAOB’s supplemental budget request
and did not identify any matters that are
inconsistent with Section 109 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the
Commission’s budget rule. Upon
considering the staff’s review and
analysis, the Commission has
determined that the PCAOB’s request to
create the Office of Outreach in 2010 is
consistent with Section 109 of the
6 See
