In 2004, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) issued Auditing Standard 2 (AS2), An Audit of internal Control over Financial Reporting Performed in Conjunction with an Audit of Financial Statements, to address these new audit requirements. After two years of closely monitoring AS2 implementation, the PCAOB found that the benefits of internal control audits came at a significant cost in light of these findings, the PCAOB released Auditing Standard 5 (AS5), An Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting That Is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements, in 2007, which loosens some of these auditing requirements to alleviate the financial burden on public companies.

The perceived difficulties in AS2's implementation call for an examination of the implementation plocess and a suggestion for a mvised promulgation procedure for future auditing standards issued by the PCAOB. It is impossible to argue that the process of developing AS2 would have been improved by the elimination of the period for public comment. The authors' proposal for improving the manner by which the PCAOB promulgates audit standards involves an organic implementation and refinement process.
