COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–102074; File No. PCAOB– 

2024–05] 

Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board; Order Granting Approval on 

Constructive Requests To Withdraw 

From Registration 

January 2, 2025. 

I. Introduction 

On November 14, 2024, the Public 

Company Accounting Oversight Board 

(the ‘‘PCAOB’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to section 

107(b) 1 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 

2002 (‘‘SOX’’) and section 19(b) 2 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Exchange Act’’), a proposed 

amendment to PCAOB Rule 2107, 

Withdrawal from Registration (the 

‘‘Amendment’’).3

The Amendment was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

November 21, 2024.4 The Commission 

received one comment letter from the 

public regarding the Amendment.5 This 

order approves the Amendment, which 

we find to be consistent with the 

requirements of Title I of SOX and the 

rules and regulations issued thereunder 

and necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest or for the protection of 

investors.6 The Amendment and the 

Commission’s findings with respect 

thereto are discussed in further detail 

below. 

II. Description of the Amendment 

On November 14, 2024, the PCAOB 

adopted the Amendment.7 The 

Amendment was preceded by a 

proposal on February 27, 2024, 

‘‘Proposals Regarding False and 

Misleading Statements Concerning 

PCAOB Registration and Oversight and 

Constructive Requests to Withdraw from 

Registration’’ (the ‘‘Proposing 

Release’’).8 The PCAOB’s process to 

develop the Amendment included 

consideration of the comments received 

on the Proposing Release. 

In the Notice of Filing of Proposed 

Rules,9 the PCAOB stated that it was 

proposing the Amendment to enhance 

its registration program by creating a 

more accurate public record of 

registered public accounting firms in 

operation that wish to remain 

registered.10 Under current rules, a 

registered public accounting firm can be 

removed from PCAOB registration only 

if the PCAOB either: (1) authorizes a 

withdrawal from registration based on a 

firm-initiated withdrawal request 11 or 

(2) imposes a disciplinary sanction 

revoking the firm’s registration.12 The
