PCAOB IT Controls

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board IT control requirements for auditors.

About PCAOB IT Controls

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board IT control requirements for auditors. This framework is part of tier 3 - audit & financial, designed for audit firms and large enterprises.

Scheduled change identified Verified 2026-09-17

Authoritative current reference

PCAOB AS 2201 current requirements as of 17 September 2026; approved amendments effective 15 December 2026

Authority: Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)

AS 2201 remains the core PCAOB standard for an integrated audit of ICFR. PCAOB/SEC-approved amendments to AS 2201 become effective 15 December 2026, so R3 must distinguish current testing requirements from the already-approved future text.

Authoritative source TAP content: TAP-ASSESSMENT-LIBRARY-2026.09-R2

TAP assessment content remains pinned to its governed release. Current-source metadata does not silently change historical questions or represent certification against a newer external version.
