Policy Regarding Use of PCAOB Materials
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board intends that public accounting firms, issuers, investors, and the general public have easy access to the rules and standards of the Board, as well as forms, releases, orders, notices, frequently asked questions, and reports that the PCAOB has disseminated to the general public, whether by posting to the Board’s Web site or otherwise providing such material to the general public (collectively, “PCAOB Public Materials”).
Accordingly, it is the policy of the Board that the PCAOB will not assert copyright infringement claims based solely on the publication, distribution, or sale (collectively, “Publication”) of all or any portion of such PCAOB Public Materials, whether in the English language or in a faithful translation in any other language. This policy applies world-wide.
This policy does not apply to materials in which the PCAOB does not hold a copyright, such as third-party materials displayed on the PCAOB Web site (e.g., the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants displayed in the “Interim Standards” section of the Web site). Further, this policy not to assert claims as set forth above does not waive any other rights the PCAOB may have in connection with the Publication or other use of PCAOB Public Materials or otherwise, whether with respect to the accuracy of the published materials (including the faithfulness of any translations) or of the source of the published materials, or otherwise. This policy should not be construed to indicate that the PCAOB does or does not maintain any form of copyright interest in any particular materials. This policy may be amended from time to time. Any new restriction imposed by such an amendment will not apply to paper copies of PCAOB Public Materials that were printed prior to the effective date of the amendment.
