PCAOB Audit Firm Inspections & Enforcement Actions Scraper

Structured, ready-to-analyze data on PCAOB audit-firm oversight — the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's inspection reports on registered audit firms and its enforcement (disciplinary) orders against firms and individual auditors. Built for short-sellers, D&O underwriters, private-equity and M&A diligence teams, audit committees, and compliance and research desks who need this record in a spreadsheet or feed instead of a PDF archive.

Two datasets in one actor — pick Firm inspection reports or Enforcement / disciplinary orders.

What you get

Firm inspection reports

One row per PCAOB inspection report, including:

• Firm name and PCAOB firm registration ID
• Inspection year and report date
• Jurisdiction (firm country) and global network (KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY, BDO, Grant Thornton, and others)
• Part I.A deficiency rate — the share of reviewed audits with at least one deficiency
• Total audits reviewed and an estimated deficiency count
• Direct link to the inspection report PDF

Enforcement / disciplinary orders

One row per PCAOB order, including:

• Respondent — the audit firm or individual auditor
• Order date and sanction / order type (settled, adjudicated, termination of bars)
• Release number (e.g. 105-2026-009)
• Direct link to the order PDF

Optional PDF detail add-on

Turn on Fetch Report / Order PDF Details to also pull, straight from each source PDF:

Filters
