Citrin Cooperman is a PCAOB-registered accounting firm
The SEC's order dated December 12, 2006, that permitted non-public broker-dealer firms to have their financial statements audited by independent public accounting firms not registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) expired December 31, 2008. Firms whose fiscal year ends on December 31, 2008, or earlier may continue to rely on the December 12, 2006, SEC Order to conduct the 2008 annual audit of their financial statements. Their fiscal year 2009 and subsequent audits must, however, be conducted by a PCAOB-registered accounting firm.
Firms whose fiscal year ends after December 31, 2008, must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and have their financial statements audited by a PCAOB-registered accounting.
Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP, continues to be a registered accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and will continue to be able to provide audit services to broker-dealers, under the revised rules. We will also continue to be of service to the broker-dealer community providing a full range of consulting, tax and audit services.
