As in PS1/2, the Lookup Disclosure Information screen is the starting point for searches by filer name, CIK number, stock symbol, audit firm name and/or audit firm ID, with the primary difference being that PS3 subscribers can access the filer's BackChannelReport (BCR). The Back Channel Report is an audit firm compliance/enforcement disclosure, benchmarking and risk analysis system designed for audit committees, executives, institutions and other parties who depend on CPA firms and personnel for a variety of services, reports and assurances.
Audit committees should review the following BackChannelReports involving their current audit firm, other SEC filers, and alternative CPA firms, including those across similar industries, revenue size ranges and geographic regions:
These BackChannelReports help audit committees demonstrate that they are:
1. Alert to external compliance/enforcement activity that could potentially have a material impact on their company;
2. Keeping abreast of internal filer/firm activity that could possibly signal material changes;
3. Aware of professional service levels and pricing trends that might benefit their company.
In addition, these BackChannelReports help:
1. Filers retain audit committee members and provide a measure of protection in performance of their due diligence activities;
