Director Sought for Financial Reporting Fraud Resource Center

The PCAOB is looking for a director for its planned Financial Reporting Fraud Resource Center.  According to the Journal of Accountancy:

“The Center is intended to complement the work of the PCAOB in improving audit quality in this area, by identifying opportunities and incentives for fraudulent financial reporting,” Daniel L. Goelzer, the PCAOB’s acting chairman, said in a press release. “We believe the Center’s work will raise the awareness of the investing public, other regulators and interested parties of financial reporting fraud.”

According to the job listing, the PCAOB is searching for someone who, among other things, can monitor emerging fraud risks (financial and nonfinancial) and developments (geoeconomic and geopolitical) in domestic and foreign capital markets, industries and public companies and analyze and interpret financial trends, developments and anomalies to identify factors that may contribute to financial reporting fraud.
