Join us for our webcast, PCAOB Focus Areas for IT Dependencies, with specific focus on common challenges around information provided by the entity (IPE) and key reports, automated controls, and reliance on System and Organizational Controls (SOC) 1® reports.

We’ll discuss the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection process, how to assess compliance with PCAOB standards and rules, and the technology that drives IT dependencies such as key reports and IT application controls.
