US public companies operate in a strictly regulated environment. As a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) registered firm, KNAV upholds the highest standards of independence, quality, and professional skepticism required of auditors who serve public interest entities. Our PCAOB audit practice combines decades of technical expertise with advanced, technology-driven methodologies that deliver assurance aligned with evolving global expectations. We adapt to changing financial reporting patterns by deploying data analytics, automation, and digital collaboration platforms that make our audits more predictive, risk-focused, and efficient.

At KNAV, our commitment is simple: we deliver audits that instill confidence in your financial reporting and credibility in the capital markets.

Comprehensive PCAOB Audit Approach

Our PCAOB audit process is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of both the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and PCAOB standards, covering U.S. domestic issuers, foreign private issuers, and broker-dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We provide a full spectrum of services under the PCAOB review scope, including:

• Public company financial statement audits under PCAOB standards
• Integrated audits of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as per AS 2201
• PCAOB reviews for foreign subsidiaries of SEC-registered companies
• Audit preparation and readiness assessments for companies transitioning from private to public status
• Broker-dealer compliance audits in accordance with PCAOB Rule 17a-5
• Audit quality reviews and remediation services in response to PCAOB inspection findings

We understand that firms preparing for a PCAOB inspection or working through restatement scenarios need partners who combine technical depth with procedural precision. Our specialists provide tailored guidance across U.S. GAAP, IFRS, and PCAOB reporting frameworks—helping management and audit committees address complex accounting, internal control, and disclosure challenges.

Technology-Driven Audit Execution

The expectations of the PCAOB and investors demand transparency, documentation excellence, and consistent audit evidence. KNAV integrates AI-enabled audit analytics, secure cloud-based workpapers, and population-based testing to enhance audit scope and accuracy.

By embedding technology into audit design, we reduce manual dependencies while strengthening audit quality, independence, and compliance with PCAOB inspection criteria.

Global Coordination and Quality Oversight

As a global network operating across the U.S., U.K., India, Singapore, Canada, and the Netherlands, KNAV delivers consistent quality across borders. Our global assurance teams follow uniform audit methodologies and centralized quality control policies. Each PCAOB audit engagement undergoes multi-level review—technical consultation, engagement quality reviews (EQRs), and post-issuance monitoring in line with PCAOB QC 1000 expectations.
