Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
Haskell & White has been registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) since its establishment under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in October 2003. Our PCAOB registration requires us to undergo a rigorous, comprehensive, at least tri-annual review of our compliance with audit performance standards approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These PCAOB inspections focus on our quality control standards, technical knowledge of audit, accounting and financial reporting rules, as well as our hiring and training practices. PCAOB inspections are carried out by experienced auditors who typically have significant experience at Big Four/National accounting firms. We are proud of our history of being registered with, and inspected by, the PCAOB since 2003. The PCAOB is a private-sector, non-profit corporation created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to oversee the auditors of public companies in order to protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, fair and independent audit reports.
California Board of Accountancy
Haskell & White LLP is licensed by the California State Board of Accountancy. In addition, we have registered, obtained permits or practice licenses, as applicable or required in several other states. A majority of states have adopted mobility legislation that provide for a practice privilege that generally permits a CPA firm in good standing from the state in which it has its principal place of practice to provide services in other states without obtaining a license. As such, these mobility rules provide the opportunity for our firm to provide services to clients throughout the United States.
