PCAOB to Hold Forum on Auditing in the Small Business Environment


The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board next month will host a forum in Orlando, Florida, to help bring important information concerning the PCAOB to the small business community.

The Forum on Auditing in the Small Business Environment is a program for registered accounting firms and public companies in the small business community to learn more about the work of the board, specifically the PCAOB inspections process and the impact of new auditing standards.

The forum will be held at the Wyndham Orlando Resort on Thursday, August 4 and Friday, August 5, 2005. The two-day program will be hosted by board member Kayla J. Gillan and staff from the offices of inspections and standards-setting. The August 4 session will focus on educating smaller registered accounting firms about the board's work. Attendees will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education credits. The August 5 session will concentrate on PCAOB issues impacting audit committees at smaller public companies.
