Abstract

The author discusses the requirements of the recently proposed Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard (AS 7) requiring the review and approval of a second audit partner of each audit. The PCAOB intended to get tough—the standard is designed to be rigorous. Unfortunately, the additional costs of implementing it might exceed any benefit. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
