In 2017, the PCAOB issued a new auditing standard to replace a portion of AS 3101 "The Auditor's Report on an Audit of Financial Statements When the Auditor Expresses an Unqualified Opinion" and extended it with AS 3105 "Departures from Unqualified Opinions and Other Reporting Circumstances". The purpose of the new standards is to expand auditor reporting and enhance its relevance to investors. AS 3101 is effective for audits of fiscal years ending on or after June 30, 2019 for large accelerated filers and on December 15, 2020 for all other firms.
