We agree with the PCAOB’s
assessment as to the costs and benefits
of the Amendment to EGCs. In
particular, we agree that the
Amendment may be of particular benefit
to EGCs where audit committees may
have less experience searching for and
engaging audit firms, and may stand to
benefit most from improved data quality
as it relates to auditors. Accordingly, to
the extent that section 103(a)(3)(C)
applies, and after considering the
protection of investors and whether the
action will promote efficiency,
competition, and capital formation, we
believe there is a sufficient basis to
determine that applying the
Amendment to the audits of EGCs is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest.
VI. Conclusion
The Commission has reviewed and
considered the Amendment, the
information submitted therewith by the
PCAOB, the comment letter received,
and the recommendation of the
Commission’s staff. The Commission
concludes that the determinations made
by the PCAOB as described in the
Adopting Release are reasonable. The
Amendment establishes an efficient
procedural mechanism for the PCAOB
to remove from registration firms that
have ceased to exist, are nonoperational, or no longer wish to remain
registered. We agree that, as the PCAOB
explains, the presence of continuously
delinquent firms on the PCAOB’s list of
registered firms hinders several
regulatory objectives, including its
ability to maintain an accurate public
record of registered public accounting
firms in operation and that wish to
remain registered; to ensure that the
information required on annual reports
is being reported to the public and the
PCAOB; to collect mandatory annual
fees; and to efficiently use PCAOB staff
time and resources.41 The Amendment
will provide the PCAOB with an
efficient mechanism to achieve these
regulatory goals, while, through various
procedural safeguards, balancing the
need for reasonable and fair notice to
firms that do indeed wish to maintain
their registration.
Therefore, in connection with the
PCAOB’s filing and the Commission’s
review,
A. The Commission finds that the
Amendment is consistent with the
requirements of Title I of SOX and the
rules and regulations thereunder and are
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest or for the protection of
investors; and
41 See
Adopting Release at 4.

B. Separately, to the extent that
section 103(a)(3)(C) of SOX applies, the
Commission finds that the application
of the Amendment to the audits of EGCs
is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, after considering the protection
of investors and whether the action will
promote efficiency, competition, and
capital formation.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
section 107 of SOX and section 19(b)(2)
of the Exchange Act, that the
Amendment (File No. PCAOB–2024–05)
be and hereby is approved.
By the Commission.

Deputy Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Group
of Twenty (G20) is a forum for
international economic cooperation
among the world’s leading economies.
The G20’s purpose is to coordinate
macroeconomic policy and financial
responses, and to shape global
governance on major economic issues.
The G20 was founded in 1999 after
the Asian financial crisis as an informal
forum for the Finance Ministers and
Central Bank Governors of large and
systemically important advanced and
emerging economies to discuss
international economic and financial
stability issues. The G20 was upgraded
to the level of Heads of State/
Government in November 2008 in the
wake of the global economic and
financial crisis, when it became
apparent that the necessary crisis
coordination would only be possible at
the highest political level. Since then,
the G20 has become the premier forum
for international economic cooperation.
The G20 members represent around
85% of global output, over 75% of
global trade, and about two-thirds of the
world’s population. Its members are 19
countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil,
Canada, China, France, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of
Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
South Africa, Türkiye, United Kingdom,
and United States) and two regional
bodies, the European Union (EU) and
