PCAOB Sanctions U.S. Audit Firm for Violations That Include Failure to Reasonably Supervise an Unregistered China-Based Firm
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) today announced a settled disciplinary order sanctioning a U.S.-based registered public accounting firm, TPS Thayer LLC (“the Firm”).
Violations Found By the PCAOB
As described in further detail in the order, the Board is imposing these sanctions based on the Firm’s conduct in connection with five audits of two public companies that have their principal place of business in the People’s Republic of China.
Specifically, the Firm failed to appropriately plan the five audits and failed to reasonably supervise an unregistered public accounting firm – also based in China – that played a substantial role in those audits.
In addition, the Firm failed to properly disclose the unregistered firm’s participation (1) on the PCAOB’s required Form AP and (2) in communications to the audit committees of the public companies.
Sanctions Imposed by the PCAOB
The order:
- Censures the Firm;
- Imposes a civil money penalty in the amount of $100,000 on the Firm; and
- Requires the Firm to undertake certain contingent remedial actions.
