In this episode of The Lease Alert, I sit down with George Botek, a board member of the PCAOB, to explore the profound impact of the accounting profession. We delve into the history and purpose of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, born out of the financial scandals of the early 2000s, and its crucial role in maintaining trust in the capital markets. George shares insights on the PCAOB's four key responsibilities: registering firms, conducting inspections, setting standards, and enforcing compliance. We also discuss the importance of nurturing new talent in the accounting field and how the profession supports economic growth and societal stability. Join us for an enlightening conversation on the vital role accountants play in our financial ecosystem.
