June 17, 2026
The PCAOB is seeking feedback on proposed amendments to QC 1000, A Firm’s System of Quality Control, and related amendments to PCAOB forms and the QC reporting rule.
The amendments, according to a news release, are intended to improve coherence, where appropriate, with other quality management standards and potentially reduce compliance costs without compromising the PCAOB’s statutory mission to protect investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate and independent audit reports.
The PCAOB is accepting public comments on the proposed amendments through Thursday, July 9. QC 1000 is scheduled to take effect on Tuesday, Dec. 15. Read more.
