Led by staff in the PCAOB’s Office of the Chief Auditor, the presentations are the latest in a series of videos aimed at helping accounting firms with the implementation of QC 1000, the audit regulator’s new quality control standard that goes into effect on Dec. 15, 2025.

The latest set of videos, which are hosted on the PCAOB’s YouTube channel, cover the following topics:  

  • Roles and responsibilities: Covers the requirements involving the assignment of roles and responsibilities within the audit firm’s quality control system.
  • Ethics and independence: Covers the accounting firm’s and auditors’ responsibilities under ethics and independence requirements applicable for engagements performed under PCAOB standards.

  • Technological and intellectual resources: Focuses on the firm’s responsibilities when employing technological and intellectual resources in the design, implementation, and operation of the firm’s quality control system.  

Additional implementation-related videos, resources, and tools can be found on the Implementation Resources for PCAOB Standards and Rules page.
