Changes at the PCAOB

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt Kelly and I go into the weeds to explore the recent changes at the PCAOB made by SEC Chairman Jay Clayton.   Some of the highlights include: Ø  Why were the changes announced in a manner to hide them? Ø  Why were they such unusual personnel moves? Ø  Why would the SEC put someone on the PCAOB with no discernible qualifications for the role? Ø  Is the goal of Jay Clayton to do away with SOX 404 protection for investors? Ø  Does going public under SOX mandate investor protection? Ø  What else will Clayton pull to ram through his changes at the PCAOB and SEC? Ø  Why is WeWork such a power example right now?
