Before I talk about the state of audit quality, I want to provide a quick snapshot of the PCAOB. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act [of 2002] was, in my view, a very clean act as far as what our responsibilities are: We have a registration function, an inspection function, enforcement, and standards. Having been at GAO all those years, I saw a lot of authorizing legislation for different programs that were very messy and needed a lot of interpretation, but we got very clear instructions in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as to what we needed to do.
