- Helen Munter, Division of Registration and Inspections, US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
- Doug Prawitt, Glen Ardis Professor of Accountancy, Brigham Young University; and

- Consider how best to address concerns that have been raised about auditors' application of professional skepticism in audits of financial statements and planned next steps.
