Banks & Bank Holding Companies Registered with the SEC

The passage of Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory measures has made it more challenging than ever for public companies to be public. Compliance problems not only can result in regulatory action, but also significant loss of market valuation. As one of the nation’s leading public company auditors, as ranked by Public Accounting Report, PKM possesses in-depth knowledge about regulatory compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our deep institutional knowledge of community banking, combined with our seasoned SEC judgment and expertise make PKM a compelling choice for publicly-held banks.

PKM stays at the forefront of the evolving changes to accounting standards as prescribed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and, as a result, provides the assurance needed for our clients’ businesses to be compliant with new regulations. We are registered with the PCAOB and are a member of the Center for Public Company Audit Firms of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

In addition, PKM Principal Sonny MacArthur serves on the PKF North American Network’s Public Companies Task Force, which is responsible for keeping member firms current with regulations that affect public companies, while PKM Partner Pat Tuley serves on the association’s Tax Committee, which focuses on tax law changes.

Also of note, PKM Partner Sal Inserra served on the PKF North American Network Sarbanes-Oxley Task Force, which was responsible for educating member firms on the early developments of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. He also participated in interviews with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on behalf of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship to review the effects of Sarbanes-Oxley on small public and private companies.
