Summary

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has published 15 new inspection reports for audit firms. These reports cover firms in various countries and provide insights into their audit quality. The PCAOB encourages users to visit its Firm Inspection Reports page for more detailed filtering and data access.

What changed

The PCAOB has released 15 new inspection reports for audit firms, including firms based in the US, Israel, India, Hong Kong, China, Spain, Australia, Netherlands, and Mexico. These reports, dated December 8 and December 22, 2025, are now publicly available and can be accessed and filtered on the PCAOB's website.

These reports are part of the PCAOB's ongoing oversight of audit firms that audit public companies and SEC-registered brokers and dealers. While these are informational notices and do not impose new direct obligations, regulated entities, particularly audit firms and their public company clients, should be aware of the findings and trends highlighted in these reports as they reflect on audit quality and compliance with PCAOB standards. Reviewing these reports can help firms identify potential areas for improvement in their own audit practices.

What to do next

  1. Review PCAOB inspection reports for relevant firms and jurisdictions.
  2. Assess internal audit quality control procedures in light of PCAOB findings.
