PCAOB whistleblower program bill reintroduced to Congress

April 27, 2022

A bill that proposes to create a whistleblower program for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has been reintroduced to the House after failing to be acted upon by the Senate in 2019.

"The PCAOB Whistleblower Bill of 2022 (H.R.7245), introduced Monday byRep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas), is identical to a bill (H.R.3625) that was passed by the House in 2019 but never acted upon in the Senate."

"The bill ‘strengthens the transparency of our nation's public markets by protecting whistleblowers who have reliable information for law enforcement,' Garcia said Tuesday in a press release. ‘This bill is a necessary first step in protecting the integrity of public companies and markets.'"
