I wanted to share this video with you.

How this little-known agency is risking your financial future

A little-known agency is risking your financial future. Are we destined for another financial disaster? Read David Hilzenrath’s latest investigation at pogo.org/pcaob.

An agency you’ve never heard of is putting your financial security at risk.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) was created by Congress to police the biggest and most powerful accounting firms in the U.S.—but it’s not doing its job. And that means Americans’ pensions, retirement accounts, and investments are on the line.

PCAOB is supposed to act as a fair, unbiased institution to protect the American people and economy from dishonest and deceptive business practices. Instead, it has become another government office failing to hold private companies accountable. (Watch POGO’s video where we break down how serious this really is.)

POGO is dedicated to holding our government accountable, and PCAOB is just the latest example of a government office that is failing to protect the public. That’s why POGO will keep digging into the details—like sorting through 16 years’ worth of accounting reports—so you can trust that there is a group looking out for every American’s financial security, no matter the party politics or beliefs.

Thank you for putting your trust in us.
