Proposal on material weaknesses reporting

California CPA, May, 2005

The PCAOB has proposed a standard that asks auditors to report on the elimination of a material weakness in a company's internal control over financial reporting.

When a company eliminates a material weakness, management may convey that message to investors. The proposed standard asks the company's independent auditor to add its assurance, a voluntary, stand-alone engagement, performed only at the company's request.

Comments must be received by May 16.
