potential effects, including the costs and benefits, of re-
quiring the mandatory rotation of registered public ac-
counting firms. In addition, the update shall include a 
study of—
(1) whether mandatory rotation of registered 
public accounting firms would mitigate against po-
tential conflicts of interest between registered public 
accounting firms and issuers; 
(2) whether mandatory rotation of registered 
public accounting firms would impair audit quality 
due to the loss of industry or company-specific 
knowledge gained by a registered public accounting 
firm through years of experience auditing the issuer; 
and 
(3) what affect the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 
has had on registered public accounting firms’ inde-
pendence and whether additional independence re-
forms are needed. 
(b) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 1 year after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General 
shall submit a report to the Committee on Banking, Hous-
ing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee

tion.

term ‘‘mandatory rotation’’ refers to the imposition of a 
limit on the period of years in which a particular reg-
istered public accounting firm may be the auditor of 
record for a particular issuer.
