Important information regarding the PCAOB
PCAOB
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ordered that auditors of non-public broker-dealers be registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The order is effective for broker-dealer fiscal years ending after December 31, 2008. Cohen Fund Audit Services has been registered with the PCAOB since its inception. Our firm is subject to inspection by the PCAOB to assess our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules of the Board and the SEC and professional standards. As a result of our recent inspection, the PCAOB has recently issued a report on Cohen Fund Audit Services, which contains no deficiencies or quality control defects. This is the best report that can be issued. For more information, please visit http://pcaobus.org/Inspections/Reports/Documents/2008_Cohen_Fund.pdf
