PCAOB to Consider Internal Control Standard


WASHINGTON, March 30, 2005 (SmartPros) The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has scheduled an open meeting for 10 a.m. Thursday, March 31, to consider proposing an auditing standard for reporting on the elimination of material weaknesses in companies' internal controls over financial reporting.



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.
