1For example, assume that a company presents 

comparative financial statements covering three 

years and has a change in auditors. In the first year 

in which the successor auditor reports, the 

successor auditor evaluates consistency between 

the year on which he or she reports and the 

immediately preceding year. In the second year in 

which the successor auditor reports, the successor 

auditor would evaluate consistency between the 

two years on which he or she reports and between 

those years and the earliest year presented. 

2When a company uses retrospective application, 

as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting 

Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error 

Corrections (‘‘SFAS No. 154’’), to account for a 

change in accounting principle, the financial 

statements presented generally will be consistent. 

However, the previous years’ financial statements 

presented with the current year’s financial 

statements will reflect the change in accounting 

principle and, therefore, will appear different from 

those previous years’ financial statements on which 

the auditor previously reported. This standard 

clarifies that the auditor’s evaluation of consistency 

should encompass previously issued financial 

statements for the relevant periods. 

3The term ‘‘error,’’ as used in SFAS No. 154, is 

equivalent to ‘‘misstatement,’’ as used in the 

auditing standards.

Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board; Notice of Filing of Proposed 

Rule on Auditing Standard No. 6, 

Evaluating Consistency of Financial 

Statements and Conforming 

Amendments 

July 30, 2008. 

Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the ‘‘Act’’), 

notice is hereby given that on February 

1, 2008, the Public Company 

Accounting Oversight Board (the 

‘‘Board’’ or the ‘‘PCAOB’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘SEC’’) the 

proposed rule described in Items I and 

II below, which items have been 

prepared by the Board. The Commission 

is publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule from 

interested persons. 

I. Board’s Statement of the Terms of 

Substance of the Proposed Rule 

On January 29, 2008, the Board 

adopted Auditing Standard No. 6, 

Evaluating Consistency of Financial 

Statements, and amendments to the 

Board’s interim auditing standards (‘‘the 

proposed rules’’). The proposed rules 

text is set out below. 

Auditing Standard No. 6 

Supersedes AU Secs. 420 and 9420 

Evaluating Consistency of Financial 

Statements 

Consistency and the Auditor’s Report 

on Financial Statements 

1. This standard establishes 

requirements and provides direction for 

the auditor’s evaluation of the 

consistency of the financial statements, 

including changes to previously issued 

financial statements, and the effect of 

that evaluation on the auditor’s report 

on the financial statements. 

2. To identify consistency matters that 

might affect the report, the auditor 

should evaluate whether the 

comparability of the financial 

statements between periods has been 

materially affected by changes in 

accounting principles or by material 

adjustments to previously issued 

financial statements for the relevant 

periods. 

3. The periods covered in the 

auditor’s evaluation of consistency 

depend on the periods covered by the 

auditor’s report on the financial 

statements. When the auditor reports 

only on the current period, he or she 

should evaluate whether the currentperiod financial statements are 

consistent with those of the preceding 

period. When the auditor reports on two 

or more periods, he or she should 

evaluate consistency between such 

periods and the consistency of such 

periods with the period prior thereto if 

such prior period is presented with the 

financial statements being reported 

upon.1 The auditor also should evaluate 

whether the financial statements for 

periods described in this paragraph are 

consistent with previously issued 

financial statements for the respective 

periods.2

Note: The term ‘‘current period’’ means the 

most recent year, or period of less than one 

year, upon which the auditor is reporting. 

4. The auditor should recognize the 

following matters relating to the 

consistency of the company’s financial 

statements in the auditor’s report if 

those matters have a material effect on 

the financial statements: 

a. A change in accounting principle 

b. An adjustment to correct a 

misstatement in previously issued 

financial statements.3

Change in Accounting Principle 

5. A change in accounting principle is 

a change from one generally accepted 

accounting principle to another 

generally accepted accounting principle 

when (1) there are two or more generally
