MACPA member Tarola named inaugural member of PCAOB's Investor Advisory Group

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2009 – Robert Tarola, president of Right Advisory LLC and an MACPA member, has been named a member of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's inaugural Investor Advisory Group.

The purpose of the advisory group is to provide a forum for the PCAOB to obtain the views of, and advice from, the broader investor community on matters affecting investors and the work of the PCAOB.

The PCAOB established the Investor Advisory Group in July and sought nominations for its membership at that time. Board member Steven B. Harris will serve as the chair.

“Since its inception, the Board has benefited from the views of the investor community. With the establishment of the Investor Advisory Group, the Board now will have the opportunity to hear from investors on a regular basis,” said Daniel L. Goelzer, acting PCAOB chairman.
