Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires auditors to report on companies' internal control over financial reporting, a process governed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2, "An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Performed in Conjunction with an Audit of Financial Statements."
PCAOB will consider proposing a standard that would permit, but not require, auditors to report on a company's assertion that it had eliminated a previously reported material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.
The meeting is open to the public and will be Webcast at www.pcaobus.org.
