What changed

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has published five new inspection reports. Four are new reports for audit firms KPMG (Hong Kong), L J Soldinger Associates, LLC, Navarro Amper & Co. (Philippines), and PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab (Denmark). Additionally, an expanded report for RSM US LLP has been made public, indicating that the firm did not adequately address previously identified quality control deficiencies within the 12-month period following the initial report date, as required by PCAOB Rule 4009(d).

These reports provide insights into the quality of audits performed by these firms. While these are informational notices and do not impose new direct obligations, audit firms, particularly those overseeing public company audits, should review these reports to understand common areas of deficiency and ensure their own quality control systems are robust. The PCAOB also offers downloadable datasets of inspection report information for further analysis.
