The PCAOB has announced that there will be a continuation of their Forums on Auditing in the Small Business Environment throughout 2007. The PCAOB forums, which began in 2004, consist of programs for registered public accounting firms and public companies in the small business community to learn more about the work of the Board, specifically the PCAOB inspection process and the impact of new auditing standards. From past forums, the PCAOB was able to gain valuable feedback in an effort to understand and consider the unique needs and challenges of the small business community.
