The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is requesting nominations for members of its Investor Advisory Group and Standards and Emerging Issues Advisory Group to fill upcoming vacancies due to certain members’ terms expiring on Dec. 31, 2025.
Appointed members would serve from Jan. 1, 2026, to Dec. 31, 2027.
The deadline for submissions is Sept. 29, 2025.
The objective of the IAG is to provide the board with the views of investors and their advocates on the PCAOB’s regulatory agenda, including:
- Advising the board regarding matters related to the auditing profession of concern to investors;
- Providing the board with investors’ perspectives on current regulatory issues; and
- Serving as a source of information, views, perspectives, and recommendations to the board on other matters regarding the PCAOB’s oversight activities from the point of view of investors.
The SEIAG advises the PCAOB on existing standards, proposed standards, potential new standards, and on matters other than standards, such as emerging issues, that are of significance to the PCAOB in order to protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit reports.
“Our advisory group members’ input, perspectives, and experiences are critical in helping the PCAOB meet its mandate under Sarbanes-Oxley,” George Botic, acting chair of the PCAOB, said in a statement on Aug. 20. “We thank the experts who have served on our advisory groups to date, and we look forward to receiving nominations from those interested in serving in the years ahead.”
Important information about membership selection, qualifications, terms, and ethical obligations of members of the PCAOB’s advisory groups is contained in the IAG Charter and the SEIAG Charter, respectively.
