SEC Opens Comment Period on the PCAOB’s Proposals Related to Auditing Accounting Estimates and the Use of Specialists

The SEC has issued two notices of filing in which it announces that it has opened the comment periods for the PCAOB’s proposed rules on (1) auditing accounting estimates, including fair value measurements, and amendments to PCAOB auditing standards and (2) amendments to auditing standards on the auditor’s use of the work of specialists.

Comments on both releases are due 21 days after the date of their publication in the Federal Register.
