PCAOB Strips 97 Audit Firms of Registration

This is the largest mass revocation of registrations in the PCAOB's history.

Isaac M. O'Bannon

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has issued a Notice of Delinquency and Impending Withdrawal to to 97 PCAOB-registered audit firms. The action is pursuant to PCAOB Rule 2107(h), Constructive Withdrawal Requests.

This is the largest mass revocation of registrations in the PCAOB’s history. The agency said the firms were delinquent or had failed to remain active in filings.

The rule, adopted by the Board in November 2024, establishes a process intended to help the PCAOB maintain a more accurate public record of registered public accounting firms that are in operation and wish to remain registered with the Board. This marks the first use of that process.

“This action provides investors and other market participants with a more accurate picture of the audit firms that remain active in the public company audit space,” said PCAOB Chairman Demetrios (Jim) Logothetis. “Maintaining complete and accurate registration records is a basic and essential function of the PCAOB and an important part of our mission to protect investors and the integrity of our capital markets.”

The firms listed by the PCAOB include:
