Large global audit firms

These are the most common providers for public company audits:

    These firms handle:
  • Annual financial statement audits
  • Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) 404 internal control audits

If you’re evaluating a provider, make sure they have:

  • PCAOB registration if auditing a public company
  • Experience with SEC filers
  • SOX/internal control expertise
  • Industry-specific public-company experience
  • A track record with investor and board reporting
