WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators have appointed a top government auditor as a member of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which polices the accounting industry.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday announced the appointment of Jeanette Franzel, a managing director of the watchdog Government Accountability Office, to the five-member PCAOB. The board was created by Congress in 2002 in response to the corporate scandals that began with Enron.
