Weatherhead’s John Keyser examines recent paper highlighting criticism of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

SEC accused of ‘censorship’ over politically sensitive audit paper

Financial TimesJohn Keyser, assistant professor at Weatherhead School of Management, discussed a recent paper highlighting criticism of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the federal audit regulator overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The criticism stems from a tougher stance under the Biden administration that may push smaller firms out of the market, raising concerns about regulatory fairness. “There are differences between how big firms and small firms experience the remediation process,” Keyser said.
