The PICPA's Allison Henry is making our voice heard on a critical issue for the profession.

In a new Bloomberg Tax commentary, Allison examines the PCAOB's proposed amendments to QC 1000 and why they represent a practical, meaningful step toward reducing compliance burdens without compromising audit quality.

Strong audit quality and a healthy audit marketplace aren't competing goals. Read Allison's full analysis at the link below.
