The PCAOB has released new search filters on its website that allow people to look for reports along six new criteria on its Firm Inspection Reports page.
Previously, website visitors could only search inspection reports by four filters: firm name, location, the year when a report was published, and whether a report includes public quality control criticisms.
The six new search filters are Part I.A deficiencies, inspection type, total issuer audit clients, specific global network, inspection year and audits reviewed.
Additionally, users can now download the entire data set into CSV, XML and JSON formats, which maximize the ability to integrate the data into third-party applications for further analysis. Read more.
