I am providing a link to a Journal of Accountancy June 23, 2022, article discussing new PEEC and ASB requirements for CPAs regarding how to handle situations that involve noncompliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR). These new requirements have been in the works for a few years. It is important to note that the new requirements pertain to both outside (independent) and inside (in-house) accountants and auditors. In certain situations noncompliance with laws and regulations can also relate to CAMs (critical audit matters), and, of course, can raise a whole range of other possible issues including, for example, possible internal investigations and disciplinary actions.
Here is the link to the Journal of Accountancy article, and below that I have provided a partial snapshot of the article: https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2022/jun/peec-asb-issue-new-requirements-cpas-regarding-noclar.html#:~:text=The%20AICPA%20Professional%20Ethics%20Executive%20Committee%20%28PEEC%29%20recently,%28NOCLAR%29%20within%20the%20AICPA%20Code%20of%20Professional%20Conduct
Regarding CAMs (critical audit matters), the following link to a post on my prior blog (auditcommitteeupdate.com) contains links to three or four fairly recent (2019 and 2020) blog discussions: https://wordpress.com/post/auditcommitteeupdate.com/1769
Thanks for reading. Please pass this along to other people who would be interested.

Remember, every case and situation is different. It is important to obtain and evaluate all of the evidence that is available, and to apply that evidence to the applicable standards and laws. You do need to consult with an attorney and other professionals about your particular situation. This post is not a solicitation for legal or other services inside of or outside of California, and, of course, this post only is a summary of information that changes from time to time, and does not apply to any particular situation or to your specific situation. So . . . you cannot rely on this post for your situation or as legal or other professional advice or representation.
Also note – sometimes I include links to or comments about materials from other organizations or people – if I do so, it is because I believe that the materials are worthwhile reading or viewing; however, that doesn’t mean that I don’t or might not have a different view about some or even all of the subject matter or materials, or that I necessarily agree with, or agree with everything about or relating to, that organization or person, or those materials or the subject matter.
