PCAOB Auditor Change & Engagement Partner Monitor
Pricing
from $6.60 / 1,000 results
Track auditor switches, engagement-partner rotations, SOX five-year partner tenure, first-year audits and offshore component-audit disclosure across every SEC issuer, benefit plan and fund from PCAOB Form AP filings. Return only what is new since your last run, or roll up mandate wins per firm.
What to return. 'changes' is the event feed derived from each issuer's own Form AP history: auditor switches, engagement-partner rotations and first-year audits. 'new-filings' returns ONLY Form APs this actor had not seen on its previous run at the same filter scope, so it needs one prior run to establish a baseline. 'engagements' returns the current audit roster with partner tenure. 'firm-rollup' returns per-audit-firm mandate wins, losses and market share. 'fund-series' explodes Investment Company filings into one row per SEC fund series.
Keep only banks, thrifts, bank holding companies and similar depository issuers (matched on the issuer name; employee benefit plans are always excluded). Useful for bank-distress and credit screens.
Case-insensitive substring filter on the issuer name, for example 'bancorp' or 'Zillow'. Leave empty for all issuers. PCAOB never populates the ticker column, so issuers are matched by name and CIK only.
Case-insensitive substring filter on the audit firm name, for example 'Deloitte' or 'RSM'. Matches either the current or the prior audit firm so both sides of a switch are visible.
ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Drops Form AP filings filed before this date. Use it on scheduled runs to keep the feed to recent activity.
Keep only rows where PCAOB's 'Latest Form AP Filing' flag is 1, dropping superseded amendment history. Turn this off to inspect every amendment of an engagement.
Hard cap on the number of dataset rows this run emits, and the thing you are billed for. Defaults to 200 - the same as the prefill - so a run with no input stays small and cheap. Raise it deliberately: a national changes sweep over the full history finds about 31,000 events.
Optional baseline for diffing without any stored run state. Each item may carry issuer_cik, issuer_id, issuer_name, audit_report_type, firm_id, audit_firm, engagement_partner and fiscal_period_end. When supplied, changes are computed against it.
