PCAOB Releases 2025 Audit Committee Chair Insights

PCAOB Shares Perspectives From 2025 Conversations With Audit Committee Chairs

WASHINGTON, Apr. 27, 2026 Today, the PCAOB released a new staff Spotlight publication, “ 2025 Conversations With Audit Committee Chairs.”

Each year, the PCAOB’s Division of Registration and Inspections invites audit committee chairs at U.S. public companies to share their perspectives and observations with respect to their oversight of auditors’ work. Additionally, PCAOB staff shares information and resources that may be beneficial to audit committee chairs in their oversight role.

In 2025, the PCAOB staff gathered insights from more than 250 audit committee chairs. This publication presents high-level observations and takeaways from this engagement.

“Audit committees play an important role in amplifying the PCAOB’s work to improve audit quality,” said PCAOB Chairman Demetrios (Jim) Logothetis. “I look forward to increasing our direct engagement with audit committees as the PCAOB pursues new and innovative ways to execute our mission.”
