PCAOB Inspection and Remediation Support: What to Do

Published on01 September 2026

A PCAOB deficiency finding does not have to define your firm’s next year, but how you respond in the weeks after it lands usually does. In this video, we walk through what audit firm leaders need to know about PCAOB inspection and remediation support, from the difference between Part I and Part II findings to the 12-month clock on quality control criticisms and why the firms that struggle least already have the infrastructure running before the next inspection.

What we cover: 00:00 — Why the response matters more than the finding 00:35 — Point 1: Part I and Part II findings call for different responses 01:15 — Point 2: The 12-month remediation clock starts at issuance 01:55 — Point 3: PCAOB staff evaluates evidence, not plans on paper 02:25 — Point 4: QC 1000 and why ongoing monitoring shortens remediation 02:55 — Point 5: Why handling this alone costs more than it saves 03:25 — What this means for your firm and next steps
