AI Summary

This bill requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to treat an auditor as independent for past audits of a company that occurred before it became a public company, if the auditor meets the established professional standards applicable to certified public accountants in the United States or, for foreign issuers, the comparable standards in the issuer's home country. This aims to provide more flexibility in determining auditor independence for past audits before a company went public.
