The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) is a private, non-profit organization established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 

Its purpose is to oversee auditors of public companies listed on stock exchanges, thereby protecting the interests of investors and the public regarding the content of audit reports. The PCAOB ensures that these reports are informative, objective, and comply with the principle of independence. 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act prohibits the acceptance of firms that are not registered with the PCAOB from preparing reports and conducting audits for American public companies. 

As of October 5, 2004, our firm is registered with the PCAOB, and you can access this information by visiting www.pcaobus.org.
