The U.S. House Financial Services Committee has advanced legislation that proposes dismantling the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and transferring its responsibilities to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move aims to reduce government oversight of consumer financial markets and public company accounting. However, the U.S. audit regulator has warned that such a plan would weaken an important safeguard that protects investors. The legislation is currently under consideration by a House panel, with discussions ongoing regarding the potential impact on audit and consumer financial market oversight.
