## Why it matters

The 2026 conference runs December 7-9 in Washington, DC and offers up to 21.5 CPE credits directly from SEC, PCAOB and FASB officials. It focuses specifically on public company reporting and audit regulation, narrower than general accounting conferences covering many topics at once. Attendees hear directly from the regulators who write the rules, ahead of the standard-setting and enforcement decisions that follow into the new year.

## Who attends

Public company controllers, CFOs and external auditors attend alongside SEC compliance specialists, audit committee members and standard-setters from the SEC, PCAOB and FASB.

## Programme

- SEC updates
- PCAOB developments
- FASB updates
- audit quality
- governance and disclosure

## Past editions
